Managed Data Identifiers

The Managed Data Identifiers resource represents the repository of managed data identifiers that Amazon Macie currently provides. A managed data identifier is a set of built-in criteria and techniques that are designed to detect a specific type of sensitive data. The types include credit card numbers, AWS secret access keys, and passport numbers for particular countries and regions. Managed data identifiers can detect a large and growing list of sensitive data types for many countries and regions, including multiple types of personally identifiable information (PII), financial information, and credentials data. For information about the categories and types of sensitive data that they can detect, see Using managed data identifiers in the Amazon Macie User Guide.

To detect sensitive data with managed data identifiers, create and run classification jobs. If you're the Macie administrator for an organization or you have a standalone Macie account, you can also enable automated sensitive data discovery. Both options provide settings for specifying which managed data identifiers you want Macie to use when it analyzes objects in Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) buckets. When you configure the settings, you specify the unique identifier (ID) for one or more managed data identifiers. You can use this resource to determine which IDs to specify.

You can use the Managed Data Identifiers resource to retrieve information about the managed data identifiers that Macie currently provides.
