Introducing DataDefender by Cloud Storage Security

Award-winning cloud security solution provider Cloud Storage Security (CSS) has announced the general availability of DataDefender, a security platform built to help organizations secure their most important assets—their data. Having built the award-winning malware protection solution Antivirus for Amazon S3, currently the #1 most subscribed container listing in AWS Marketplace, DataDefender is the result of CSS’ expertise in cloud security at the storage layer and the commitment to helping customers prevent breaches before they happen.

DataDefender, along with all of CSS’ solutions, are built on three key tenets:

• Enterprise Scalability: Just like CSS’ malware scanning solution, which supports thousands of accounts and petabytes of data, DataDefender is built to inventory, manage configuration, monitor, and protect tens of thousands of buckets and storage resources across multi-account, multi-region environments.

• Ease of Deployment: As an agentless, cloud-native solution, deployment can be completed in under one hour.

• Ease of Use: While capable of handling the most complex customer use cases, DataDefender is simple, intuitive, and functional immediately after deployment.

Functionality, Value, and Use Cases

DataDefender’s capabilities are organized into four key pillars, with activity monitoring at the forefront:

Activity Monitoring – “Who’s accessing my data?”

• Provides continuous visibility into who is accessing what, when, and how across storage environments.

• Detects anomalies and suspicious behavior, including exfiltration attempts, ransomware indicators, and insider threats.

• Simplifies investigation of CloudTrail and Server Access Logs to accelerate response and root cause analysis.

Inventory – “Where is my data?”

• Unifies visibility across object, file, and block storage (S3, EBS, EFS, FSx, Glacier, and more).

• Summarizes file composition, sensitivity, and access patterns.

• Monitors overall storage usage and posture.

Security Checks – “Is my data locked down?”

• Runs 90+ automated security and compliance checks to surface risky misconfigurations.

• Flags publicly accessible buckets, over-permissive policies, and other violations.

• Delivers severity-based reports for rapid remediation.

Malware Protection – “Is my data clean?”

• In-tenant scanning ensures data never leaves the customer’s environment.

• Multi-engine detection delivers 99.999% accuracy, minimizing false positives and negatives.

• Prevents infected files from reaching employees, partners, or downstream systems.

At its core, DataDefender delivers multi-layered protection with activity monitoring as its anchor, giving organizations the visibility and control needed to stop threats at the storage layer before they become breaches.
