The Data Masker removes sensitive data in test databases and replaces it with realistic looking false information. The Data Sanitization process ensures security and privacy of the information while still preserving the look-and-feel of the data.

If you wish to learn how to use the Data Masker software the best method is to view the tutorials below. Before using the Data Masker on your own data you will probably want to try it on a sample schema. The DDL code to create and populate a sample schema is provided with each installation of the Data Masker software. Also provided are sample Masking Sets that will hide the data in the sample schema.

Please read the Step-By-Step Get Started Guide for more information on using the sample Masking Sets on the sample schema.
