Foxit | April 13, 2022
Foxit, a leading provider of innovative PDF products and services, helping knowledge workers to increase their productivity and do more with documents, today announced the availability of Foxit Smart Redact, a new AI-powered tool providing document redaction. With the launch of Foxit Smart Redact, users now have an efficient and comprehensive tool that provides the ability to detect sensitive data within their PDF documents.
Foxit Smart Redact helps users who want to redact sensitive information in PDF documents but need assistance in determining the exact words to redact in advance. With Smart Redact, users don't have to read through every page to find the sensitive information in each sentence. Instead, Smart Redact lists sensitive data contained in a PDF file. Security is a priority for the solution and Foxit Smart Redact is both TAA compliant and SOC 2 Certified.
Key features of Foxit Smart Redact include:
Smart Redact identifies sensitive data in PDF files
Data transmission between PDF Editor and the Foxit cloud is encrypted by AES-256
User-created profiles allow users to select the confidential information they would like to remove for every type of document
Foxit Smart Redact is fully integrated into Foxit PDF Editor as an optional plug-in. Foxit users can take advantage the tool's simple to use and powerful redaction capability while never having to leave the PDF editor where they are executing their typical document workflows. 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.
"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."
Frank Kettenstock, CMO of Foxit
