Data masking
Our masking methods include character shuffling, nulling or deletion, encryption, masking, and word substitution, to protect sensitive data such as credit card numbers, bank account details, and other sensitive personal information.
Different privileges have access to different views of the same data. Employees in a bank call center, for example, see a restricted view of sensitive data, whereas employees in a bank branch can see a full view of customer information.
