CLOUD STORAGE IN THE CROSSHAIRS

S3 Protection Against Modern Threats

The S3 buckets that house your critical business data are prime targets for sophisticated attacks. ClamAV only detects threats it has already seen and does nothing to prevent the unknown. In today's Dark AI threat landscape, criminals are generating new malware and ransomware at machine speed. Preemptive data security that prevents zero-day attacks before they execute is critical.

Deep Instinct Prevents What ClamAV Can’t Catch

S3 Cloud Storage Requires a Preemptive Solution

ClamAV relies on signature-based detection, meaning it can only identify threats already in its database. And far worse, your S3 buckets are critically vulnerable to zero-day attacks, polymorphic malware, and a growing wave of never-before-seen AI-generated threats. Ask yourself the following questions:
Check
How confident are you in signature-based scanning's ability to prevent unknown threats in your S3 environment?
Check

Do you know how many threats have never been seen before?

Check

How much will a 'free' tool cost you when it fails?

Check
Can your SOC team handle the high volume of false positives that ClamAV is known to generate?

Better With DSX

DSX for Cloud vs. ClamAV

Unlike ClamAV, DSX for Cloud is purpose-built using deep learning to detect and prevent malware in cloud storage, delivering real-time prevention of unknown threats—something signature-based tools like ClamAV simply cannot achieve.

ClamAV
Deep Instinct
Better with DSX
Efficacy
ClamAV prevents <10% of zero-day attacks, leaving data dangerously exposed.
Deep learning-powered DSX prevents >99% of zero-day and AI-generated malware and ransomware.
Deep Instinct protects your data and prevents both known and sophisticated unknown threats that signature-based ClamAV regularly misses.
False Positives
ClamAV signature-based threat detection returns an overwhelming number of false positives.
A <0.1% false positive rate keeps SOC teams sharply focused on real threats and reduces investigation time, reducing burnout and wasted hours.
DSX helps your SOC teams spend significantly less time chasing false positives, letting them stay focused on the real threats targeting your data.
Connectivity
ClamAV needs constant updates to catch known threats, while remaining ineffective against the unknown.
DSX for Cloud is always working and always learning, preventing new threats in real time.
DSX operates effectively with only one to two updates per year, without the need for cloud calls or threat feeds.
Speed
ClamAV requires slow, complex infrastructure, but still misses unknown threats while returning an avalanche of false positives.
DSX for Cloud scans files in <20 milliseconds, keeping your operations working smoothly.
Faster and more accurate scanning speeds ensure better security, fewer bottlenecks, reduced infrastructure costs, and minimal business delays.
Scalability
As ClamAV scales, so do its shortcomings: more missed threats, more false positives, and higher costs.
Native S3 integration allows DSX for Cloud to scale seamlessly alongside your cloud storage needs, without missing a beat.
DSX for Cloud grows with your storage and remains continuously effective,  preventing threats at scale without slowing down.
Total Cost of Ownership
With ClamAV, you get what you pay for. This free, open-source tool requires complex infrastructure to deploy, is burdensome to manage, and exposes your critical data to even the most inept criminals.
DSX for Cloud saves time and management costs with faster speeds, higher efficacy, and easier implementation, while preventing the breaches that cost millions.
DSX for Cloud is easier to deploy, easier to manage, and more effective at protecting your data than ClamAV, saving you money in operations and remediation costs.
