Amazon Macie | Security, Identity & Compliance
The first step towards building compliance policies including Payment Card Industry (PCI), Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), or General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is around identifying where sensitive data exists across an organization. Amazon Macie automates this discovery phase, with highly accurate, machine learning based detection of over 70 data types related to Personally Identifiable Information (PII), Personal Health Information (PHI), regulatory documents, API keys and secret key material. Customers can get started quickly by enabling Amazon Macie’s compliance policies to alert on the existence of credential information embedded within source code and backups, or to automate policies about how PII and PHI can be safely stored and accessed. In addition to supporting data compliance use cases, Amazon Macie leverages a neural network-based artificial intelligence to identify changes to policies and access control lists that could indicate inadvertent overexposure of information, or suspicious access to content that could indicate a potential data breach. Amazon Macie allows customers to automate response and remediation through Amazon CloudWatch Events and a suite of templated AWS Lambda functions that can be customized to meet the specific needs of your organization.
