Dynamic Data Masking Architecture

Dynamic Data Masking Architecture

Dynamic Data Masking acts as a security layer between the application and the database to protect sensitive data stored in the database. The Dynamic Data Masking Server intercepts SQL requests sent to the database and uses a set of connection and security rules to determine how to process the request.
The following figure shows the architecture of Dynamic Data Masking and how the Dynamic Data Masking Server relates to the application and the database:
The Dynamic Data Masking Server listens on the port where the application sends database requests. When the application sends a request to the database, the Dynamic Data Masking Server receives the request before it goes to the database. The Rule Engine uses the connection rules and security rules to determine the action to perform on the incoming request. The Dynamic Data Masking service sends the modified request to the database. The database processes the request and sends the results back to the application.
Dynamic Data Masking provides management tools that you can use to manage the Dynamic Data Masking Server and set up connection and security rules. With the Server Control tool, you can start, stop, and manage the Dynamic Data Masking Server. On the Management Console, you can configure and manage the Dynamic Data Masking services and create and manage connection and security rules.
