The Data Masking agent can be used to either mask or unmask specified fields in different UDRs in order to protect the data. It can be used when data is going to be processed in the cloud without involving personal data, for example. The agent enables compliance with regulations around data protection, ensuring personal data is accessed in a controlled manner.
The agent uses a profile in which you can define masking method; Crypto, Database, or Hash, as well as which fields to mask/unmask along with additional settings specific for each masking method. When selecting Database, Oracle, Postgres, and SAP HANA can be used.
In the agent itself you can select which of the UDR types configured in the used profile(s) that you want the agent to process, as well as how you want the agent to handle unmatching data.
