Scan S3 bucket to find Sensitive data with Macie

[64/100] #100DaysOfCloud Today, I created an S3 bucket and added a text file containing sensitive data and then used Macie to scan it.

Amazon Macie is a data security service that uses machine learning (ML) and pattern matching to discover and help protect your sensitive data.

Use cases:

  • Strengthen your data security posture

    • Discover sensitive data across your S3 environment to increase visibility and automated remediation of data security risks.
  • Discover sensitive data for compliance

    • Schedule data analysis to certify that sensitive data is discovered and protected.
  • Protect sensitive data during migration

    • During data ingestion, determine if sensitive data has been appropriately protected.
  • Increase visibility for business-critical data

    • Automatically and continually monitor all your sensitive data stored in S3 buckets.

You can try do it by yourself by following the steps from the link below: GitHub
