Data Masking

Why Simple Masking Kills AI Accuracy

Replace every name with [REDACTED] and the model can no longer tell who introduced whom, who approved what, or whether two mentions are the same person. The agent doesn't error. It just starts guessing around the holes you punched in its context....

Beyond Masking: The Challenge of Safe Data Reveal

Masking is three hard problems in one: finding messy sensitive data, hiding it without losing meaning, and revealing it selectively by policy. The regex demo solves none of them....
