AWS Systems Manager OpsCenter integration

AWS Systems Manager OpsCenter provides a central location where operations engineers and IT professionals can view, investigate, and resolve operational work items related to AWS resources.

By integrating bucketAV’s malware scan results into AWS Systems Manager OpsCenter, operations teams can work on infected files in a central location to quickly identify and respond to malware incidents. This helps organizations to reduce the risk of data breaches and to comply with various security and privacy regulations.
