On December 18th Pedro Costas, member of our SAP consulting team presented the webinar “How to hide confidential information in SAP using SAP UI Data Protection Masking”. On this occasion, the organization was on our own and it took place in a single session at 17:00 CET.
By way of summary, the contents presented were as follows:
- Contextualization of the current situation of data protection and privacy.
- UI Data Protection features
- UI Logging
- UI Masking
- Challenges
- 7 Key Points
- Demonstration with real cases.
As can be seen, the webinar was divided into two blocks, a first theoretical block and a second practical block with real demonstrations of the use of the solutions.
In the first block, the importance of data protection and current regulations to prevent leaks of sensitive information was explained, as well as SAP’s solution to protect sensitive data, detailing the functionalities of UI Data Protection: UI Logging and UI Masking.
In the second block, Pedro presented three use cases in which he masked sensitive information within the SAP system:
Case 1: Sensitive Employee Information (HR)
- He concealed personal data and data related to employee emoluments.
Case 2: Sensitive Partner Information
