A standalone account owns the decision to enable or disable a protection plan in their AWS account in a specific AWS Region.
If your account is associated with a GuardDuty administrator account through AWS Organizations, or by the method of invitation, this section doesn't apply to your account. For more information, see Enabling GuardDuty-initiated malware scan in multiple-account environments.
After you enable GuardDuty-initiated malware scan, GuardDuty will initiate a malware scan of the Amazon EBS volume that is attached to the Amazon EC2 instance that was involved in a GuardDuty. For a list of findings that initiate malware scan, see Findings that invoke GuardDuty-initiated malware scan.
