In recent months, the release of applications such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT have caused a global spike in the popularity of generative artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. As the value AI provides continues to be showcased and proven, IT industry leaders such as Amazon Web Services (AWS) have invested large amounts of time and money into developing and integrating generative AI into their internal processes and offerings.  

While generative AI creates the opportunity to optimize business operations such as cloud computing, content creation, and even software development, the general availability of generative AI also makes it a tool with almost unlimited skills and knowledge accessible to anyone with an internet connection, including bad actors.

Cloud Storage Security (CSS) is always working to improve our users’ experience and we’re excited to share the following noteworthy improvements to our antivirus and data classification platform: the addition of CrowdStrike's AI-powered malware scanning engine, Antivirus for Managed File Transfers, enhanced Amazon EventBridge support, and more.

Organizations can now validate data cleanliness and reduce the risk of ingesting and sharing infected files as a part of the cloud-native data transfer process.

Organizations can now leverage CrowdStrike’s machine learning technology to scan files in AWS storage for malicious code.

AWS-managed storage services such as Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) and Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) are often the data store of choice for applications and data ingestion workflows.  

Cloud Storage Security (CSS) is always working to improve our users’ experience and we’re excited to share the following noteworthy improvements to Antivirus for Amazon S3(AVS3) and Data Classification for Amazon S3(DCS3): Event-based scanning for data classification, improved scanning performance, improved archive handling and more.

Cloud Storage Security (CSS) is always working to improve our users’ experience and we’re excited to share the following noteworthy Antivirus for Amazon S3 updates: Amazon EventBridge integration, AWS Control Tower integration, storage assessment, “suspicious” file identification, proxy enhancements, and read-only root files. 

Cloud Storage Security is always working to improve our users’ experience and we’re excited to share the following Antivirus for Amazon S3 updates: the addition of bucket configuration actions, deployment improvements and enhanced object tagging. 

Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) is widely used to run cloud-native applications, build data lakes, archive data, and backup critical data. In fact, it houses over 200 trillion objects, making it an appealing attack vector.

As cybercriminals develop more sophisticated malware they also develop new targets and new ways of distributing it. In addition to focusing on securing traditional avenues and existing security layers, you need to consider the security of the data that runs through Amazon S3.
