Move infected (quarantine)

An Add-On implements the quarantine action. By default, the Add-On does not quarantine unscannable files. You can change this via the QuarantineUnscannableFiles configuration parameter.

Setup

The DeleteInfectedFiles configuration parameter of the bucketAV stack must be set to false.

Install Add-On (requires a running bucketAV installation)

  1. Set the Stack name to bucketav-quarantine.
  2. Set the BucketAVStackName parameter to the stack name of bucketAV (if you followed the docs, the name is bucketav).
  3. Set the QuarantineBucketName parameter to an existing S3 bucket where quarantined files are stored.
  4. Select I acknowledge that AWS CloudFormation might create IAM resources.
  5. Click on the Create stack button to save.

  5. Click on the Create stack button to save.

Multi-account setup

If you have a multi-account setup, you might want to scan buckets created in additional AWS accounts.

IAM role-based access requires version >= 2.8.0 of this Add-On. To update to the latest version, follow the update instructions.

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 bucket.
  • CloudWatch Alarms to monitor the used AWS services.
  • CloudWatch Logs to store logs.

Limitations

  • S3 object ACLs are not preserved. Instead, we set the ACL bucket-owner-full-control.
