Redaction

Eliminate sensitive event field data by either nullifying or replacing with a blank value

Objective

Effective method of eliminating sensitive event field data by either nullifying or replacing with a blank value.

Example & DSL attributes

This DSL will replace the contents of the field with blank field.

The obfuscation strategy called redactPII, which is applied to two fields: address and firstlast_name.

1. address The value for the address field is redacted and replaced with null (i.e., the address is completely removed).

2. firstlast_name The value for the firstlast_name field is not redacted and remains unchanged (as null: false means no obfuscation).

This strategy helps protect personally identifiable information (PII) by redacting sensitive data while retaining non-sensitive data.

obfuscation:
  name: redactPII
  fields:
    address: 
      redact:
        as null: true
    firstlast_name:
      redact:
        as null: false
