We are pleased to announce a new capability to create allow lists in Amazon Macie. You can now create and use allow lists to specify text or text patterns that you don’t want Macie to report as sensitive data. For example, an allow list might include corporate addresses, names of executives, or sample data that is used for testing. When you create a sensitive data discovery job, you can configure the job to use one or more of your allow lists, in addition to choosing from a growing list of Macie managed data identifiers (MDI).
