Hello everyone!

00:02.080 --> 00:08.320
In this video we will learn about Anonymizer engine and take a deep dive on it.

00:09.360 --> 00:19.400
The Anonymizer engine is where procedure takes the identifiable PII and applies intelligent, configurable

00:19.400 --> 00:26.640
transformations to ensure data privacy while preserving data utility wherever possible.

00:28.320 --> 00:37.200
The very first anonymizer technique is redaction, where it completely removes PII from the text by

00:37.200 --> 00:42.160
replacing it with placeholders or entity type label.

00:43.480 --> 00:54.480
A second way of anonymizing is masking, where it partially obscures PII to maintain the format while

00:54.520 --> 00:57.360
hiding sensitive digits.

00:58.520 --> 01:09.520
A third way of anonymizing is replacement, where it substitutes PII with realistic but fake data generated

01:09.520 --> 01:15.760
by libraries like faker, preserving the text structure for testing.

01:16.800 --> 01:26.000
The last one is hashing or encryption, where it converts PII to a reversible hash or encrypted tokens,

01:26.480 --> 01:34.520
enabling secure storage without exposing the original values.

01:37.680 --> 01:43.120
Operators are configurable for entity type, allowing fine gain control.

01:43.760 --> 01:50.360
For example, you might redact SSN completely while only masking the phone numbers.

01:51.720 --> 01:52.360
Thank you.
