Question & Answer
Question
How can I configure my policy to have an extrusion rule on a particular table?
Cause
There are no object/table or field attributes in the policy builder.
Answer
An extrusion rule evaluates data returned by the server, that is a result set. For example:
A query is sent by the client and processed by an access rule: "select name, ssn from cust_info".
In response to this query, the database sent:
"John", "000-00-0000"
"Jane", "111-11-1111"
You can create extrusion rules that will process the result set and will mask out the returned data. An extrusion rule will cause Guardium to look for a pattern in the result set to mask. You can refine this further by adding an access rule for particular objects or procedures.
