Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) integration on the File Protect appliance secures the files stored on the cloud storage platform. The File Protect appliance scans files in the Amazon S3 storage for malware. The files marked as malicious are quarantined. You can configure the location to quarantine these files.
In Amazon S3 storage, files are stored in buckets. File Protect creates a queue using Amazon Simple Queue Service (SQS) to scan buckets. A bucket to be scanned will send notifications to the queue created when a file is added or modified in the storage server. The appliance periodically queries the queue. It retrieves notifications and downloads files to scan. If a file is found to be malicious, it is moved to the quarantine location.
Perform the following steps to use the Amazon S3 Integration feature:
