+### General Availability (GA): malware scanning in Defender for Storage
+
+September 1, 2023
+
+Malware Scanning in Defender for Storage is now generally available. The new modern approach helps overcome traditional challenges in non-compute malware protection, providing a scalable solution tailored for high-compliance industries. Malware Scanning is available as an add-on to Defender for Storage and is a significant enhancement to Microsoft Defender for Cloud’s security offerings for Azure Blob Storage. Malware Scanning offers: 
+
+**Near real-time agentless protection**: full malware scan on uploaded content in near real time, using Microsoft Defender Antivirus capabilities. Catching polymorphic and metamorphic malware. 
+
+**Cost-effective security**: [control costs](https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/defender-for-cloud/defender-for-storage-malware-scan#cost-control) with flexible pricing based on the amount of data scanned and resource level granularity. Optional data capping allows you to align usage with your security budget. 
+
+**Simple enablement at scale**: [enabling malware scanning](tutorial-enable-storage-plan.md#set-up-and-configure-microsoft-defender-for-storage) requires zero maintenance and supports [automated responses at scale](defender-for-storage-configure-malware-scan.md). It offers multiple options to enable at scale via an [Azure built-in policy](defender-for-storage-policy-enablement.md), [Bicep](defender-for-storage-infrastructure-as-code-enablement.md?tabs=enable-subscription#bicep-template), [ARM](defender-for-storage-infrastructure-as-code-enablement.md?tabs=enable-subscription#azure-resource-manager-template), [Terraform](defender-for-storage-infrastructure-as-code-enablement.md?tabs=enable-subscription#terraform-template), the [REST API](defender-for-storage-rest-api-enablement.md), or the [Azure portal UI](defender-for-storage-azure-portal-enablement.md).  
+
+**Use-case versatility**: over the past two years, beta users have applied malware scanning in [various scenarios](defender-for-storage-malware-scan.md#common-use-cases-and-scenarios), including web applications, content protection, compliance, third-party integrations, collaborative platforms, data pipelines, and machine learning (ML) training data. 
+
+Malware scanning is priced per gigabyte of data scanned. Billing begins on September 3, 2023. Visit the [pricing page](https://azure.microsoft.com/pricing/details/defender-for-cloud/) for more information.
