Introduction to In-Flight Masking

In-flight masking enables sensitive data to be masked in real-time as it is being generated, before it reaches any downstream destination. DataMasque implements this through a real-time REST API that masks and returns data using secure HTTP requests.

DataMasque's in-flight masking operates in two steps. First, you create a Ruleset Plan. This is a combination of a YAML ruleset and some configuration, which becomes an endpoint on the REST API. Ruleset plans can be created and managed through the DataMasque web interface or programmatically via the API. Then, any data sent to the ruleset plan is masked in accordance with your ruleset, and returned in real-time.
