Microsoft Azure SQL Database Datamasking Policies and Rules

Microsoft Azure SQL Database Data Masking Policies and Rules is a feature that allows users to define and enforce data masking rules on sensitive data stored in Azure SQL databases. With this feature, users can easily specify which columns or fields in their database contain sensitive information, such as social security numbers or credit card numbers, and set up rules to dynamically mask this data to protect it from unauthorized access. This helps organizations comply with data privacy regulations by ensuring that only authorized users have access to the original, unmasked data while all other users see masked or obfuscated values. Additionally, data masking policies can be applied at the database level or at the individual user level, providing flexibility in how data is protected within the Azure SQL Database environment.
