bucketAV is an object-storage antivirus and malware scanning solution for Amazon S3 and Cloudflare R2, covering threats such as viruses, trojans, and ransomware. Its key selling point is that the scanning instances run inside the customer’s own AWS account. Files do not need to be sent to an external SaaS platform; only virus definitions are retrieved from the vendor’s servers. This makes it appealing for teams that care about data control.
For protection modes, bucketAV supports real-time scanning, on-access scanning, scheduled scans, on-demand scans, and initial full-bucket scans, making it suitable for use cases such as user uploads, data lakes, content distribution, and compliance audits. For scanning engines, users can choose ClamAV, Sophos, or a multi-engine setup: ClamAV is lower-cost but has moderate performance and a maximum file size of 2GB; Sophos supports zero-day protection and can scan objects up to 5TB. Management and alerting features include a CloudWatch Dashboard, email notifications, a Findings Topic, logs, and daily/weekly/monthly CSV reports. Infected files can be deleted, quarantined, or tagged.
Deployment mainly relies on AWS CloudFormation. The documentation says it can be started in about 15 minutes, and Terraform examples are also provided to invoke CloudFormation, though the AWS Marketplace subscription still needs to be completed manually. For S3 use cases, bucketAV supports cross-account and multi-bucket scanning; multi-region deployments need to be set up per region. Its integration capabilities are strong, with an HTTPS API, synchronous/asynchronous scanning, GitHub examples, and out-of-the-box support for Amazon Connect, AWS Transfer Family, Jira, Confluence, Salesforce, WordPress, and more.
Billing is handled through AWS Marketplace, with a 14-day free trial. ClamAV costs $0.025/vCPU hour; Sophos costs $0.025/vCPU hour plus $0.200/scanned GB; the multi-engine option costs double the vCPU hour fee plus scanning volume fees. Note that the real total cost also includes charges for EC2, EBS, SNS, SQS, CloudWatch, S3/R2 API usage, Cloudflare Workers/Queues, and related services.
The main advantages are that data stays inside the customer’s cloud account, the deployment documentation is comprehensive, the scanning modes are extensive, autoscaling is supported, and Sophos offers stronger performance and large-file handling. The downsides are a relatively complex cost model, clear file-size and performance limits with ClamAV, no current GovCloud availability, and no support for Cloudflare jurisdictions. It is best suited to mid-sized and large technical teams already using AWS/Cloudflare object storage and needing protection for upload entry points or compliance-oriented data scanning.
The source material does not provide information on mainland China network access, payment, or localization support. Since purchasing depends on AWS Marketplace and operation relies on AWS and Cloudflare services, teams in China should first verify account availability, region support, network connectivity, invoicing, and payment options. If an in-country cloud compliance environment is required, local cloud object-storage security scanning or cloud security center alternatives should be evaluated separately.
