Custom inline redaction in Amazon WorkSpaces Secure Browser
Customers can define their own patterns using regular expression, such as custom internal application IDs. To create your custom inline redaction pattern, follow these steps:
-
Go to your data protection setting.
-
Choose Custom inline redaction and add.
-
Enter a name for the custom data type.
-
Enter your regular expression value.
-
Regular expression values must match the JavaScript regular expression literal syntax. For more information, see Regular expressions
. An example regular expression is /ex[am]+ple/i. -
Make sure to test your custom patterns on the websites that you plan on supporting. If custom patterns are written with errors, they can introduce unintended performance issues.
-
-
Specify the replacement value.
-
Choose More options for more optional customizations, including the following:
-
Add keywords to fine tune the redaction logic. Keywords can increase the accuracy of enforcement. Add keywords in the Javascript regular expression literal syntax. For more information, see Regular expressions
. For example, if you are creating a custom redaction pattern for client IDs used in an internal system, you can add
/client name/ito the keyword field to inform the scanning and detection logic. -
Apply URL enforcement overrides to fine-tune the way redaction is applied across URLs, without changing the default configuration.
For example, you can set use URL overrides to enforce email address redaction in your customer relationship management system, without breaking user access to email addresses in the company directory website or web-based email.
-
Enter a description (optional) for the data type.
