Question

What are data masking features available in Azure?

Answer 1

Dynamic data masking plays various significant roles in data security. It restricts sensitive information to some specific set of users.

1. It is available for Azure SQL Database, Azure SQL Managed Instance and Azure Synapse Analytics.
2. It can be implemented as a security policy on all the SQL Databases across an Azure subscription.
3. Users can control the level of masking as per their requirements.
4. It only masks the query results for specific column values on which the data masking has been applied. It does not affect the actual stored data in the database.
