Enabling GuardDuty Across an Organization
See how a delegated admin turns on detection for many accounts.
Detection at Scale
Turning GuardDuty on in one account is easy, but real environments have many accounts. Enabling and managing detection across all of them by hand is error-prone and leaves gaps. AWS solves this with the delegated administrator model tied to AWS Organizations.
AWS Organizations Recap
AWS Organizations lets you group multiple accounts under one management account, arranged in Organizational Units (OUs). It is the foundation for multi-account governance. Many security services, including GuardDuty, integrate with Organizations to operate across every member account centrally.
