Protect Sensitive Data in Logs with AWS CloudWatch Data Masking

Protect Sensitive Data in Logs with AWS CloudWatch Data Masking

Logging is part of every application, at least they should, but often logs contain sensitive information. PII (Personally Identifiable Information), PHI (Protected Health Information), and other confidential data often end up in logs - often unintentionally. Storing raw, unmasked logs can lead to compliance violations (GDPR, HIPAA, SOC 2), security risks, and data exposure if logs are misused.
