Foxit PDF Editors new AI tool can detect and redact sensitive information.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

Foxit has announced the release of Smart Redact - an AI-powered tool that can detect and redact sensitive information contained within PDF documents.

The new tool promises to provide businesses with a more efficient way to stay compliant with global data laws and regulations like GDPR. Now, firms can search and hide sensitive data without having to exit the PDF editor and disrupt the workflow.

Smart Redact comes as an optional add-on. However, its built directly into Foxit PDF Editor - considered one of the best PDF readers for Windows - so unlike other PDF plugins, you wont need to install it. You just need to
switch it on. Smart, sensitive, secure

Privacy -conscious Foxit users are no strangers to redaction. The PDF editor , which we champion as one of the best Adobe Acrobat alternatives , included the option to manually locate and mark text, images, areas, and even whole pages for redaction.

Now, Foxit claims that Smart Redact builds upon the redact capability in PDF Editor by expanding the number of automatic sensitive data pattern searches, including those without static patterns, such as person names, organization names, personal roles.

Alongside the AI tool, user profiles are also now available. Profiles let you set certain types of confidential data that are always to be obscured. That means you wont have to constantly search and scrub protected information across multiple documents and document types, as Smart Redact will automatically do it for you. READ MORE

With cybersecurity front of mind, Smart Redact is TAA compliant and SOC 2 Certified. Data transferred between the software and the Foxit cloud server deploys AES-256 encryption.

Frank Kettenstock, Foxit CMO, said By leveraging artificial intelligence, Foxit Smart Redact dramatically improves the productivity of knowledge
workers involved in redaction. Users will save time and reduce the potential for errors. Boost security across your business with the best endpoint protection software
