Data Masking:

Data masking is the process of hiding sensitive data in such a way that the data remains usable for authorized users while being concealed from unauthorized access. This technique ensures that private or confidential information is replaced with fictitious yet realistic data, thereby protecting the original data from exposure during non-production activities such as software testing, user training, and data analysis.

Key aspects of data masking include:

• Protection: Ensuring sensitive data is not exposed to unauthorized users.
• Usability: Keeping the masked data useful for legitimate purposes.
• Compliance: Adhering to regulatory requirements for data privacy and protection.

Menu Commands Key Remap:

HACP EE supports menu commands in key remapping, allowing users to assign keys to specific menu command features. Users can assign, unassign, or reset keys within the key remap settings.

Thai Host Code Page Support:

HACP EE V4.2 supports the following new host code pages in addition to the existing ones.
