Amazon GuardDuty now supports wildcard characters (* and ?) in finding suppression rules. Wildcards are supported through new Matches and NotMatches operators, giving you more flexibility in managing security findings. The findings that match this criteria are automatically archived. Suppressed findings are also excluded from Extended Threat Detection sequencing, further helping you customize your security alerts.

GuardDuty introduces two new critical-severity findings: AttackSequence:EC2/CompromisedInstanceGroup and AttackSequence:ECS/CompromisedCluster. These findings provide attack sequence information, allowing you to spend less time on initial analysis and more time responding to critical threats, minimizing business impact. For example, GuardDuty can identify suspicious processes followed by persistence attempts, crypto-mining activities, and reverse shell creation, representing these related events as a single, critical-severity finding. To improve attack sequence coverage and threat analysis of Amazon EC2 instances, enable Runtime Monitoring for EC2. To enable detection of compromised ECS clusters, enable Runtime Monitoring for Fargate or EC2 depending on your infrastructure.

Pay increased threat awareness regarding DNS-related findings

Amazon GuardDuty observed a trend where threat actors are setting up malicious domains to compromise organizations working on software patching related to CrowdStrike's recent sensor issue. Currently, GuardDuty is observing an uptick in Command and Control (C&C) Activity findings that correspond with domains identified in CrowdStrike CSA-240832. As a proactive measure, we strongly advise all customers to increase vigilance regarding DNS-related findings. Recommended steps include: 1. Monitor DNS-related findings: Pay close attention to alerts such as Backdoor:EC2/ C&CActivity.B!DNS findings and Backdoor:Runtime/C&CActivity.B!DNS (if using GuardDuty's runtime protection for EKS, ECS Fargate, and EC2). They indicate potential communication with suspicious and malicious command and control (C&C) activities, which could be part of or evolve into a broader attacks targeting your workloads. 2. Validate and evaluate findings: Get started with the GuardDuty console, API, or other preferred method to review findings promptly. Start with a finding's severity label, which would be marked as “High” for more important ones. GuardDuty continually updates its threat intelligence from CrowdStrike and other AWS internal and external sources, which helps ensure a current list of suspicious and malicious domains. 3 Take action on suspicious activity: If the flagged activity is unexpected, your instance may be compromised. Consider quickly taking action on affected resources, conducting a thorough investigation, and remediating any identified threats. For more information, see remediating a potentially compromised Amazon EC2 instance. Maintaining heightened awareness and promptly responding to GuardDuty findings can help you reduce the risk of malicious actors compromising your environments. For further assistance, refer to the AWS GuardDuty documentation or contact AWS Support.

Amazon GuardDuty Runtime Monitoring is now generally available for Amazon Elastic Containers Service (Amazon ECS), including AWS Fargate, and in preview for other Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances. Runtime Monitoring uses an agent that is deployed as a sidecar container on Fargate and a service on the EC2 instance. Runtime Monitoring supports only automated deployment on ECS Fargate and manual deployment on EC2 instance. You can also deploy the agent on EC2 instance automatically by using RPM via AWS Systems Manager (SSM). The agent collects security telemetry from your workloads on ECS Fargate and EC2 to identify suspicious activity. GuardDuty customers can enable Runtime Monitoring on the Amazon GuardDuty console Runtime Monitoring page, which includes the optional automated agent configuration for all the Fargate tasks in an account, across an AWS organization, or only for tagged ECS clusters. A 30-day free trial starts for an account when an agent sends the telemetry to GuardDuty for the first time. EKS Runtime Monitoring is now a part of Runtime Monitoring. You can now migrate from using EKS Runtime Monitoring to Runtime Monitoring and your agent configuration will remain the same. Runtime Monitoring includes the same runtime finding types previously released for EKS Runtime Monitoring.

Discovery:S3/AnomalousBehavior

This finding informs you that an IAM entity has invoked an S3 API to discover S3 buckets in your environment, such as ListBuckets. This type of activity is associated with the discovery stage of an attack wherein an attacker gathers information to determine if your AWS environment is susceptible to a broader attack.
