Making Data Useless for Hackers & Inside threats
- Data masking solves several critical threats – data loss, data exfiltration, insider threats or account compromise, and insecure interfaces with third party systems.
- Reduces data risks associated with cloud adoption, while maintaining many of its inherent functional properties.
- Allows sharing data with authorized users, such as testers and developers, without exposing production data..
- Can be used for data sanitization – normal file deletion still leaves traces of data in storage media, while sanitization replaces the old values with masked ones

Few Other Insights
- Importance of Pseudonymisation
- According to the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), a new term has been introduced to cover processes like data masking, encryption, and hashing to protect personal data: pseudonymization.
-
Pseudonymization, as defined in the GDPR, is any method that ensures data cannot be used for personal identification. It requires removing direct identifiers, and, preferably, avoiding multiple identifiers that, when combined, can identify a person. In addition, encryption keys, or other data that can be used to revert to the original data values, should be stored separately and securely.
- Pseudonymization is a security technique that aims to protect sensitive data by replacing it with fictional data. Doing so it ensures that information cannot be directly linked to a specific individual without additional data, as Article 4 (5) of the GDPR outlines.
