Overview

The API data security protection feature includes built-in Adding a Sensitive Data Label. Once a label is enabled, the system automatically identifies sensitive data in application APIs. You can also add custom sensitive data labels.

The system also offers built-in common masking algorithms for these sensitive data labels and supports custom masking algorithms. You can configure these algorithms to create an industry-specific masking template.

When setting up masking rules, you can reference masking algorithms or masking templates to mask sensitive data in APIs.
