Setup

Install Add-On

2. Set the BucketAVStackName parameter to the stack name of bucketAV (if you followed our docs, the name is bucketav, or s3-virusscan for older installations).

Quarantine bucket in different AWS Account

If you have a multi-account setup, you might run the bucketAV in AWS account a while your quarantine bucket is created in AWS account b.

Add the following bucket policy statements to your quarantine S3 bucket in account b to grant bucketAV from account a access.

• Replace ROLE_ARN with the QuarantineRoleArn output of the CloudFormation bucketav-quarantine stack from account a.
• Replace BUCKET_NAME with the name of the quarantine S3 bucket from account b.

  "Statement": [{
    "Sid": "bucketAVRequired1",
    "Effect": "Allow",
    "Principal": {
      "AWS": "ROLE_ARN"
    },
    "Action": "s3:ListBucket*",
    "Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::BUCKET_NAME"
  }, {

    "Principal": {
      "AWS": "ROLE_ARN"
    },
    "Action": "s3:PutObject*",
    "Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::BUCKET_NAME/*"
  }]
}

Source bucket in different AWS Account

If you have a multi-account setup, you might run the bucketAV in AWS account a while the source bucket is created in AWS account b.

Add the following bucket policy statements to your source S3 bucket in account b to grant bucketAV from account a access.

• Replace ROLE_ARN with the QuarantineRoleArn output of the CloudFormation bucketav-quarantine stack from account a.
• Replace BUCKET_NAME with the name of the source S3 bucket from account b.

{
  "Version": "2012-10-17",
  "Statement": [
    {
      "Effect": "Allow",
      "Principal": {
        "AWS": "ROLE_ARN"
      },
      "Action": "s3:ListBucket*",
      "Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::BUCKET_NAME"
    },
    {
      "Effect": "Allow",
      "Principal": {
        "AWS": "ROLE_ARN"
      },
      "Action": [
        "s3:GetObject*",
        "s3:DeleteObject*"
      ],
      "Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::BUCKET_NAME/*"
    }
  ]
}

When using KMS to encrypt the S3 bucket or objects, please note that a customer-managed KMS key is necessary for cross-account access. Use a KMS key policy and the add-on parameter KMSKeyRestriction to control access.

Architecture

The following AWS services are used:

• SNS Subscription to connect to the Findings Topic.
• Lambda Function to move the infected files into the quarantine S3 bucket.
• CloudWatch Alarms to monitor the used AWS services.

Limitations

• If you set QuarantineUnscannableFiles to true, only files up to 5 GB are moved.
