Sensitive data detection feature in Amazon Glue can now detect over 250 sensitive entity types in Amazon Web Services China Regions out-of-the-box.

Sensitive data detection feature in Amazon Glue identifies a variety of sensitive data elements like social security numbers, credit card numbers, names, driver license numbers and other entities. Once detected, customers can take actions to redact the sensitive information before writing records into their data repositories. Customers can use this from Glue Interactive sessions and Amazon Glue Studio.

With this new capability, customers can detect data that is classified as sensitive in Amazon Web Services China Regions without having to write complex code. Customers can also create custom detectors to detect entities specific to their organizations. This feature is available in the Amazon Web Services China (Beijing) Region, operated by Sinnet, and the Amazon Web Services China (Ningxia) Region, operated by NWCD as Amazon Glue.
