Bitdefender Security for AWS is a cloud‑native antimalware and workload‑protection service that secures EC2 instances on AWS with minimal performance impact via off‑loaded scanning and centralized man

Senior Cybersecurity Engineer at Kyndryl

Bitdefender Security for AWS could be improved by broadening its scope beyond basic antimalware on EC2 and adding features that better match how modern cloud workloads are built and run. Right now it’s focused on lightweight, off‑loaded scanning for EC2 instances, which is strong, but there are a few obvious gaps that customers often mention indirectly. From a feature‑roadmap perspective, the most useful additions would probably be deeper cloud‑native workload support, such as antimalware‑style protection or integrity checks for containers (ECS/EKS pods) and serverless components like Lambda, not just traditional EC2 VMs. Many teams today mix EC2 with containers and serverless, so being able to manage at least policy and visibility across those layers from the same GravityZone‑style console would make the product feel more comprehensive. Another area to improve is integration with AWS security and observability services: tighter bridging to GuardDuty, Security Hub, and CloudTrail so that Bitdefender detections and scan events can flow directly into native AWS tools instead of relying only on GravityZone or a separate SIEM. This would reduce duplication, simplify alert routing, and help teams enforce consistent security‑and‑compliance rules across the board. Technically, it would also help if the product added lighter agent‑less or partially agent‑less options for scanning or integrity‑checking data and snapshots, similar to how some cloud‑security platforms inspect EBS volumes or backups without requiring a long‑running agent on every instance. This would appeal to teams that want antimalware‑style coverage but minimize the number of agents or services running on critical workloads. Finally, better cloud‑security posture and configuration insights (think basic CSPM‑style checks) around the EC2 and VPC environment would push the product closer to a full‑stack cloud‑security tool, rather than a dedicated antimalware layer. Customers already using GravityZone and XDR would likely appreciate seeing misconfigurations, risky IAM patterns, or open‑to‑the‑Internet instances flagged alongside the traditional malware‑detection view.

Helps secure the infrastructure and control users with admin rights

Lead Consultant at a tech vendor with 501-1,000 employees

There are many features that are currently missing. A customization option is required for certain policies. For instance, if we need to stop PowerShell scripting, we have to create a different policy for that. Being able to create a sub-level policy within a top-level policy would be good. Currently, no user-based policy option is available inside the EPM console. We can only create computer-based policies. The database is available, but there is a drawback in not being able to create local groups on the EPM console. We only have to depend on Active Directory. This limits infrastructure security as we depend on the Active Directory team to manage user groups. If they remove any users, we lose control. If we could create groups locally and block them or set specific policies, we would have more control. Local endpoint management is missing from the EPM site. Moreover, there is an issue with policies not running as expected when we make enhancements. We have to find multiple ways to whitelist applications or enhance policies.
