Malware Protection plan resource status

This section describes various protection status values associated with your Malware Protection plan resource.

Status Description

Active

Your S3 bucket has been configured with Malware Protection for S3 successfully.

Warning*

Malware Protection for S3 is designed to not get impacted when a warning shows up. When GuardDuty notices a new S3 object, it will initiate a malware scan. After initiating the scan successfully, the Status column value may take a few minutes to change to Active. You will receive an EventBridge notification after the Status column value updates.

Error*

Your bucket is not protected. None of the malware scans associated with this S3 bucket will complete. There could be one or more potential root causes.
