Comprehensive Data Security: Protecting Data at Rest, In Motion, and In Use

This document outlines two data protection methods: Data Masking and Tokenization. Data Masking replaces sensitive values (e.g., credit card numbers, SSNs) with realistic but fictitious data that preserves format while holding no real value, rendering exfiltrated data useless. Tokenization substitutes real data with random tokens and stores the mapping in a secure vault, ensuring stolen tokens cannot reveal the original data without authorized access.
