Persistent Data Masking Vs. Dynamic Data Masking

Persistent Data Masking Vs. Dynamic Data Masking




Informatica Persistent Data Masking is a data masking solution used to mask sensitive structured data during testing and development with features such as policy management. Using PDM, data will be masked and stored in the database.

Informatica Dynamic Data Masking is a data privacy solution used to mask sensitive production and production support data without making any changes to application source-code or databases. Using DDM, we are getting the data masked on the fly depending on defined rules. Here, data stored in the database is not masked.

Using ILM Workbench, you could perform Persistent Data Masking. DDM is a separate installer and you can’t use ILM Workbench for DDM.
