You can now use Amazon Macie to discover and help protect sensitive data in Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) in the AWS Israel (Tel Aviv) Region.
Amazon Macie provides continual, cost efficient, organization-wide visibility into where sensitive data resides across your Amazon S3 estate. Macie automatically and intelligently samples and analyzes objects across your S3 buckets, inspecting them for sensitive data such as personally identifiable information (PII), financial data, and AWS credentials. Macie builds an interactive data map of where your sensitive data in S3 resides across accounts, and provides a sensitivity score for each bucket. This interactive data map can help guide your decisions for more in-depth investigations of specific S3 buckets by running targeted sensitive data discovery jobs using Macie.
Getting started with Amazon Macie is fast and easy with one-click in the AWS Management Console or with a single API call. Macie has multi-account support using AWS Organizations, which makes it easier for you to enable Macie across all of your AWS accounts. Macie applies machine learning and pattern matching techniques to automatically identify and alert you to sensitive data, such as names, addresses, credit card numbers, or credential materials.
The first 30 days of automated sensitive data discovery are available at no additional charge as part of the 30-day Amazon Macie free trial. During the trial period you can see the estimated cost of running automated sensitive data discovery after the trial period ends in the Macie Management Console.
