How does it work?
When a user transfers files to a designated Google Cloud Storage bucket, it triggers the Bucket Protector Google Cloud Function. This function automatically accesses the Google Cloud Data Loss Prevention (DLP) and Key Management Service (KMS) APIs. Based on the pre-configured settings, the data is then deidentified (using methods like masking, redaction, or replacement) or encrypted using Format Preserving Encryption (FPE). Finally, the protected data is stored back into the Google Cloud Storage bucket, ensuring your sensitive information is secured seamlessly.
