The analyst wants to move data from production to the UAT server for testing the latest release. Which of the following strategies to protect data should the analyst use?
Data masking replaces sensitive data with realistic but fictional data, preserving format and usability while protecting confidential information during testing in environments like UAT (User Acceptance Testing).
Tokenization (B) replaces data with tokens but is more common for payment data in production. Obfuscation (C) scrambles data but is less structured than masking. Encryption (D) protects data confidentiality but may not be practical for testing.
Data masking is a best practice for protecting sensitive data in non-production environments covered in the General Security Concepts domain【6:Chapter 7†CompTIA Security+ Study Guide】.
