Release of Optimaize PII Platform, version 10.8.0.
This update brings several improvements related to name matching consistency, stronger security, and broader data coverage.
1. NameMatcher Service Improvements
We have improved the name parsing and matching, specifically in scenarios where names are passed as separate fields versus a single full name string. Previously, these inputs were processed slightly differently, leading to inconsistent results in edge cases with lower confidence scores. With this release, matching logic has been unified, delivering consistent and accurate outputs across all input formats.
2. Security Enhancements
To strengthen our infrastructure and minimize potential vulnerabilities:
- Base Docker image upgraded:
from amazoncorretto:17-alpine → amazoncorretto:17.0.16-alpine. - Key libraries updated to address known vulnerabilities (partial list):
- jackson-core, jackson-databind
- maven-core
- jsoup
- logback-classic
- guava
3. Improved Domain ClassificationOur system now recognizes and classifies 800 additional domain names, assigning them to categories such as:
- Disposable
- Organization
- Freemail
…and others.
4. Expanded Name DatabaseOur team has researched and added new given names and surnames from a diverse range of cultures:
- Brazilian Portuguese
- Greek
- Kirgiz
- Urdu.
API Endpoint
The endpoint remains unchanged: https://api.nameapi.org/rest/v5.3/
🌍 Built for a Global World
