Redact sensitive data on-prem using the Datadog Agent

What's this blog post about?

Datadog's Sensitive Data Scanner (SDS) helps detect and redact sensitive information in telemetry data to maintain regulatory compliance and improve data security. The latest update allows users to apply SDS scanning rules directly using the Datadog Agent, enabling on-premise redaction of sensitive information before it is sent to downstream services. This feature supports nearly 90 out-of-the-box scanning rules and can be configured for specific host groups. Users can choose between the Agent and Observability Pipelines based on their business use case, with the Agent being suitable for most organizations and those sending logs exclusively to Datadog.
