Learn how Microsoft Presidio acts as a privacy guardrail to identify, assess, and anonymize PII across data types, preventing data leakage and ensuring regulatory compliance for AI pipelines.
Explore Presidio's modular architecture with an analyzer engine that detects PII via pattern matching and NLP recognizers, and an anonymizer engine that masks, replaces, or encrypts identified data.
Learn how the Presidio Analyzer Engine detects PII with pattern matching of credit card numbers, phone numbers, social security numbers, NLP-based recognition, and context analysis, plus extensible custom recognizers.
Detects PII entities in text with a Python based Procedure Analyzer and predefined and custom recognizers, using regex NER and NLP engines to analyze and anonymize data.
Create a custom PII recognizer in Presidio, install packages, import the analyze engine and pattern cognizer, and register a title recognizer with a denial list for text analysis.
Explore the anonymizer engine and its privacy-preserving transformations, including redaction, masking, replacement, and hashing, to protect PII while preserving data utility with configurable entity-type controls.
In this hands-on lecture, learn to configure the anonymizer engine on Presidio Analyzer results, apply replace, redact, mask, hash, or encrypt options, and run a phone-number masking example.
