Customers across many industries and geographies use Amazon GuardDuty, including more than 90% of AWS’s 2,000 largest customers. GuardDuty can identify unusual or unauthorized activity like cryptocurrency mining, access to data stored in Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) from unusual locations, or unauthorized access to Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) clusters.

GuardDuty EKS Runtime Monitoring extends the ability to do runtime threat detection for Amazon EKS nodes and containers by monitoring system data telemetry, such as file access, process execution, and network connections. GuardDuty continually evolves its techniques to identify indicators of compromise, such as updating machine learning (ML) models, adding new anomaly detections, and growing integrated threat intelligence to identify and prioritize potential threats.
