AI-Powered Personally Identifiable Information Detector

The AI-Powered personally identifiable information (PII) Detector enhances security and compliance by utilizing Azure's PII Detection cognitive skill. This feature automatically scans and identifies PII within Nerdio Manager's logs, ensuring data privacy and regulatory compliance.

Azure AI services require each tenant to accept the Azure Responsible AI Notice. For more information on responsible use of AI with Azure AI Services, see this Microsoft article. See Azure Responsible AI Notice for information about how to accept the Responsible AI Notice.

PII Email Alerts

Nerdio Manager alerts you via email when there is a potential issue with PII appearing in the logs.

• The emails are sent to the addresses configured in the Azure AI Language - PII Detector, as shown above.

• The logs are examined, and the alert emails are generated if necessary, once an hour from 12:00 AM - 5:00 AM, in the time zone Nerdio Manager is installed in.
