data is stored in
snippets
. A snippet is a piece of data
that matches the data pattern that
you want to identify within your files. Snippet masking enables you
to control how this sensitive data, such as credit card numbers
or Social Security numbers, displays to administrators who can view
the snippet within Prisma Cloud. - Select
- Select your masking option.There are three types of masks that you can apply to your sensitive data. The default option isPartial Maskwhich displays only the last four characters in clear text such as XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-1234.

The last option isFull Maskwhich cloaks all the values of the sensitive data such as XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX. When a mask is applied, 200 bytes before and after the pattern match is displayed.
