# protect personal data and privacy — Database Administrator

As a Database Administrator, 'protecting personal data and privacy' isn’t abstract – it’s woven into almost *every* task. It means going beyond basic security like firewalls. Daily, you'll be implementing access controls (limiting who sees what data), masking or anonymizing sensitive fields (like credit card numbers or health information) during development/testing, and auditing database activity to detect unusual access patterns. Tools include native database features for encryption (TDE - Transparent Data Encryption), row-level security, dynamic data masking, and integration with data loss prevention (DLP) solutions. You're not just protecting the *database*; you’re safeguarding individuals.
