Enable Data Masking

Configure data masking on
Data Security
to control the exposure of data displayed in an incident snippet.
Data Security
uses data masking to mask the data in the snippets. Data masking enables you to control how
Data Security
stores and displays sensitive data, such as credit card numbers or Social Security numbers, to the administrator and other nonprivileged users who can view the snippet of content matched as an incident.
By default,
Data Security
displays the last four digits of the value in cleartext (partial masking). For example,
Data Security
displays a snippet of credit card number as
XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-1234
. You can specify that
Data Security
display values in cleartext (no masking) or fully mask the data to hide all the values.
Because the Data Masking setting applies to all cloud apps on
Data Security
, you must be an administrator with a Super Admin role or Admin role with access to all apps to modify this setting.
  1. Specify the storage and reporting of sensitive data by
    Data Security
    .
    For financial and PII policy rules,
    Data Security
    displays a snippet of 100 bytes of content before and after the violation.
