Oracle Data Masking on 12C for EBS Afaq Kardekar
Introduction
Oracle Data Masking helps organizations comply with data privacy and protection mandates
that restrict the use and sharing of private, sensitive or personally identifiable information
(PII). With Oracle Data Masking, sensitive information such as credit card or social security
numbers can be replaced with realistic values, allowing production data to be safely used for
development, testing, or sharing with out-sourcing partners or off-shore teams for other non-
production purposes.
