# Detecting Cloud Threats with GuardDuty
## When to Use
- When establishing continuous threat detection for new or existing AWS accounts
- When investigating GuardDuty findings related to compromised instances, credential abuse, or data exfiltration
- When building automated incident response playbooks triggered by GuardDuty findings
- When extending threat coverage to container workloads running on EKS, ECS, or Fargate
- When enabling malware scanning for EBS volumes attached to suspicious EC2 instances
**Do not use** for Azure or GCP threat detection (see securing-azure-with-microsoft-defender or auditing-gcp-security-posture), for static code analysis, or for compliance posture monitoring (see implementing-aws-security-hub).
