1. Improve Work Efficiency with AI Support

*The interface will be in Japanese at the time of release in Japan.
2. Database Masking
You can mask data in specific columns and apply one of five methods: replacement, variation, shuffling, hashing, or setting to NULL. This allows you to prepare data for development and testing while protecting confidential information.
