When the Secure Agent runs a task, it connects to the Informatica Cloud hosting facility to access task information. Then the Secure Agent connects directly and securely to sources and targets, transfers data between sources and targets, and performs any additional task requirements.

To use a Cloud masking task to transfer data between a source and a target, you must install the Informatica Cloud Secure Agent on the machine that you use to perform the data movement.

For information about how to run masking tasks in Data Integration, see the online help: https://network.informatica.com/onlinehelp/IICS/prod/CDI/en/index.htm
