Data sanitization system for public host platform

An apparatus, comprising:

• a processor configured to:
• receive, via a network, a hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) message with a request for a public cloud service from a client of the network,
• identify a first subset of fields within the hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) message which contain sensitive information within the HTTP message based on a type of the public cloud service to be performed on data within the HTTP message;
• identify a second subset of fields which do not contain sensitive information within the HTTP message;
• encrypt values stored within the first subset of fields while leaving values of the second subset of fields intact to generate a partially encrypted HTTP message via a proxy of the network;
• and
• transmit the partially encrypted HTTP message to a computing system of the public cloud service via a public network.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium configured to store at least one instruction that when executed by a processor causes the processor to perform:

• receiving, via a network, a hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) message with a request for a public cloud service from a client of the network;
• identifying a first subset of fields within which contain sensitive information within the HTTP message based on a type of cloud service to be performed on data within the HTTP message;
• identifying a second subset of fields which do not contain sensitive information within the HTTP message;
• encrypting values stored within the first subset of fields while leaving values of the second subset of fields intact to generate a partially encrypted HTTP message via a proxy of the network;
• and
• transmitting the partially encrypted HTTP message to a computing system of the public cloud service via a public network.
