Policy tuning has improved cloud threat detection while rule creation still needs simplification
Bitdefender Security for AWS provides an agent-based solution that combines antivirus, endpoint detection and response and behavioral detection to reduce the risk of compromised production servers. One of the best features of Bitdefender Security for AWS is its protection for EC2 workloads. It offers centralized management from a single console, allowing users to manage policies, deployments, and visibility across all AWS platforms. This centralized approach simplifies administration and improves efficiency. The anti-malware and behavioral detection features are robust. For both Windows and Linux EC2 instances, Bitdefender provides strong detection capabilities against both known and unknown threats, helping to minimize false positives and accurately identify true positives. It also supports offloading scans to optimize performance. Bitdefender Security for AWS helps secure servers running in AWS while reducing CPU and I/O consumption. Managing physical servers is often more complex since it may require additional hardware, such as memory expansions or system extensions, to maintain performance. In contrast, AWS environments benefit from Bitdefender’s optimized performance, resulting in lower CPU and memory usage, as well as better handling of I/O loads. From a security standpoint, this solution allows for easier management even under high resource consumption. Because it operates within AWS, performance remains stable, making it a reliable and efficient choice for cloud-based security operations.
