Malware protection for Amazon Elastic File System with Cloud Storage Security

This article discusses how to add malware protection to Amazon Elastic File System (EFS) using Cloud Storage Security (CSS), an AWS Security Competency partner solution.

• CSS provides a self-hosted malware protection solution that integrates seamlessly with AWS services
• The solution uses AWS Fargate, SQS, CloudWatch, and DynamoDB to scan files for malware
• Multiple malware scanning engines can be used in parallel to reduce false positives
• Implementation involves: • Subscribing to AWS Marketplace • Deploying a CloudFormation template • Configuring malware protection settings • Reviewing scan results
• Scanning can be performed on-demand or scheduled

The CSS solution helps protect Amazon EFS by scanning for ransomware, viruses, and other advanced threats, providing an additional layer of data security.
