Price Reductions for GuardDuty Malware Protection

Amazon GuardDuty Malware Protection for S3 has announced significant price reductions, starting with an impressive decrease of up to 85% in data scan fees. This is particularly beneficial for users managing large-scale file uploads, as the cost for scanning data will now drop from $0.60 to $0.09 per gigabyte in the U.S. East region. The pricing adjustments only affect the data scan dimension, while the costs associated with the number of evaluated objects remain unchanged. Such changes are expected to provide substantial savings for organizations that rely heavily on S3 for data storage and protection.
