Amazon GuardDuty
Threat-detection service that analyzes events and logs for suspicious AWS account and workload activity.
What This Service Solves
Threat-detection service that analyzes events and logs for suspicious AWS account and workload activity.
- Use Amazon GuardDuty when the scenario requirement matches its managed service category and reduces custom operational work.
When You Should Not Use It
- Do not choose Amazon GuardDuty only because it is familiar. Confirm it matches the workload model, security boundary, availability target, and cost pattern.
What AWS Manages and What You Manage
Customer enables coverage, reviews findings, and responds to threats.
Security Implications
Integrate findings with response workflows and avoid treating detection as automatic remediation.
Availability and Scaling
Review whether the service is regional, zonal, global, or dependent on resources you configure.
Understand service quotas, scaling mode, and downstream bottlenecks before assuming automatic scale solves the problem.
Cost Behavior
Cost depends on usage dimensions such as requests, duration, capacity, storage, data transfer, and optional features.
