Explanation

Amazon CloudWatch Logs supports data protection policies that can mask sensitive information such as email addresses in log groups. By configuring a data protection policy for the log group and specifying the AWS managed data identifier for EmailAddress, the company can automatically mask email addresses in the logs, allowing developers to access the log data without seeing the email addresses.
