Set up Information Privacy

Reflection Desktop products include support for several information privacy features that are designed to help you comply with industry and government regulations, like Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS) that address data protection concerns. You can configure Reflection to protect sensitive data so that it is not displayed in Reflection productivity features like Screen History, and when sharing host data using Windows copy/paste for integration with other applications. For IBM hosts, you can mask sensitive data so that it is not displayed on host screens. You can also require secure connections for sessions that handle sensitive data.
