AWS launches data security service called Macie with machine learning ZDNet

Amazon Web Services has launched a security service that uses machine learning to identify, classify, and protect data across the cloud service. The service, called Amazon Macie, recognizes personally identifiable information, intellectual property and other sensitive data and provides visibility into access and movement. AWS said Macie is a managed service that monitors data access for anomalies and provides alerts. For now, AWS said Macie will support S3, but be available for other data stores. AWS will charge by the GBs of S3 content classified and CloudTrail events analyzed.
