In 2020, as many businesses accelerated their move to the cloud, our team introduced **Antivirus for Amazon S3**, an in-tenant, multi-engine malware scanning solution designed to answer a common question: “How do I protect my data in cloud storage?” The goal was simple: provide an effective, easy-to-use way to reduce risk without disrupting existing workflows. As customers’ environments grew and their data needs became more complex, they looked for broader visibility and control across their cloud storage systems. We then introduced **DataDefender**, a DSPM that offers inventory, classification, activity monitoring, threat detection, and configuration checks. Together, our products give organizations practical, reliable tools to strengthen data security in the cloud while keeping deployment and management straightforward.   ![white globe bg image](https://cloudstoragesecurity.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Website/Website_On_Page_Graphics/white%20globe%20bg%20image.webp?width=1921&height=546&name=white%20globe%20bg%20image.webp) ![quote](https://cloudstoragesecurity.com/hubfs/images/quote.svg) With a nimble approach and an intense focus on automating data security in storage to help organizations meet best practices and achieve compliance, we are uniquely positioned to meet customer demand in an ever evolving security landscape.  - Steven Hess  CEO, Cloud Storage Security   ![blue bg image with clouds](https://cloudstoragesecurity.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Website/Website_On_Page_Graphics/blue%20bg%20image%20with%20clouds.webp?width=1920&height=887&name=blue%20bg%20image%20with%20clouds.webp) ## Our Values Our solutions comprise world class products and people, who deliver exceptional, ongoing service and responsive care.
