Abstract
Embodiments disclosed herein may be useful for controlling access to data, and particularly to data intended for restricted access. In at least one embodiment, a system and method for dynamic data masking intercepts input/output (I/O) read requests for data in external memory, determines if the data to be read should be masked, and appropriately, dynamically masks data before the requested data is written into system memory. The system and method for dynamic data masking provides a technical improvement to computing systems by, for example, avoiding the need to create an entirely separate database with scrubbed data and, thus, resource and costs associated with creating a separate, scrubbed database.
