Cloud Plays - Amazon S3 Virus Scanning

GSA offers a portfolio of cloud services and plays to support the products and services. A Play is an endorsed, referenceable, and consumable source of guidance providing a path for implementing a specific solution. Each Play provides the process to implement various FAS Cloud Services.

Cloud Play: Amazon S3 Virus Scanning Component

This service gives FCS tenants and administrators the ability to scan objects stored in S3 against industry malware definitions and automatically quarantine malicious files in S3 outside tenant control. S3 Virus Scanning Component also reports back on the kinds of files and frequency of malware in the uploaded data.

Disclaimer: This particular component has not been widely adopted across the FCS ecosystem. However, specific tenants have utilized this design pattern in the past. As the demand increases, FCS will work to promote this to a service for wider adoption. The information presented here is for evaluation and informational purposes.
