+### General availability of agentless malware detection in Defender for Servers Plan 2
+
+May 30, 2024
+
+We're announcing the release of Defender for Cloud's agentless malware detection for Azure virtual machines (VMs), AWS EC2 instances, and GCP VM instances, as a new feature included in [Defender for Servers Plan 2](plan-defender-for-servers-select-plan.md#plan-features).
+
+Agentless malware detection for VMs is now included in our agentless scanning platform. Agentless malware detection utilizes [Microsoft Defender Antivirus](/microsoft-365/security/defender-endpoint/microsoft-defender-antivirus-windows) anti-malware engine to scan and detect malicious files. Any detected threats, trigger security alerts directly into Defender for Cloud and Defender XDR, where they can be investigated and remediated. The Agentless malware scanner complements the agent-based coverage with a second layer of threat detection with frictionless onboarding and has no effect on your machine's performance.
