Macie classification

Can Macie identify type of the file ? For example a file is indeed a PDF but user saves it as .exe and uploads to S3
Can Macie detect from file properties that it is not exe and generate a alert ?

Great question! – Yes Macie can tell what the content type is as well as classify based on file extension,

Check out the AWS documentation here which provides all the details:
