Datadog Sensitive Data Scanner is a comprehensive security and compliance solution that discovers, classifies, and protects sensitive data across logs, traces, and telemetry data in cloud infrastructure and applications. The scanner operates at ingestion, applying built-in or user-defined rules to hash or redact sensitive information before it leaves the environment via the Datadog Agent or Observability Pipelines. It performs real-time scanning of data across cloud environments including AWS S3 and RDS instances, helping organizations maintain compliance with regulations like GDPR, HIPAA, CCPA while protecting confidential data transmission and storage.
