AWS guardduty documentation change

Service: guardduty · 2026-05-28 · Documentation low

File: guardduty/latest/ug/malware-protection-backup.md

Summary

Expanded scannable resources to include S3 continuous backups/PITR with added documentation link.

Security assessment

Broadens documentation scope for existing security feature (malware scanning) but shows no evidence of patching a security weakness. The change simply adds supported resource types.
