Answer Description

Macie is designed to automatically discover, classify, and protect sensitive data stored in AWS, particularly in S3 buckets. It uses machine learning to recognize PII such as names, addresses, and credit card numbers. This makes it the best choice for the company's requirement to identify and protect PII in their data. GuardDuty is a threat intelligence service that monitors traffic for malicious activity and unauthorized behavior but does not provide data classification capabilities. WAF (Web Application Firewall) helps protect web applications from common web exploits but is not used for data discovery or classification. Shield provides protection against Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks but does not offer data classification or PII detection.
