Are You Doing Enough to Protect Data in AWS GovCloud Regions?
As governments and agencies are increasingly moving sensitive and confidential information to secure cloud regions such as AWS GovCloud, it is essential to pay attention to security vulnerabilities that may exist despite the platform’s compliance with the complex cybersecurity requirements mandated by the U.S. government. One area that stands out is the lack of an embedded service for regular and persistent malware scanning within the GovCloud storage network. Malware protection for GovCloud regions is paramount for ensuring reliable and secure operations, and without it the risk of cyberattacks is very real and very high. Fortunately, there is one solution for AWS GovCloud in-tenant malware scanning in the AWS Marketplace.
