You can now identify and mask personally identifiable information (PII) from text documents using HAQM Comprehend. HAQM Comprehend uses machine learning to detect PII information that can be used to identify any individual such as social security numbers, credit card numbers, and email addresses. You can use HAQM Comprehend’s PII API synchronously and asynchronously to detect PII and mask it from text documents.
HAQM Comprehend is a natural language processing (NLP) service that uses machine learning to find insights and relationships in text. It provides pre-trained models for recognizing entities, key phrases, sentiments, and other common elements in a document. You can also build custom models with HAQM Comprehend to recognize custom entities and classify documents.
HAQM Comprehend PII API is available in all AWS regions where HAQM Comprehend is available. To try the new feature, log in to the HAQM Comprehend console for a code-free experience, or download the AWS SDK. Learn more about using this feature on this blog or in the documentation.
