Last updated: January 24, 2025

Amazon GuardDuty offers malware protection as a paid service for EBS Volumes. When enabled, Amazon will create a replica of your EBS volume which is scanned for possible malware. The charge for GuardDuty Malware Protection is based on the total and prorated GB volume of Amazon EBS data scanned each month. Note that in order to have this feature enabled, it's required that you use EBS snapshots which incur additional, separate charges beyond this distinct billing code. This feature is billed per GB per month.
