Guys, ask a DBA. They will tell you Masking only obscures the data that's presented, IE when it's presented. Masking does not encrypt or protect the actual data. The answer has to be Tokenization.

Selected Answer: A
Tokenization is a data protection technique that involves replacing sensitive data with unique tokens. The sensitive data is securely stored in a separate tokenization system or vault. The tokens have no meaningful correlation to the original data and are useless if obtained by an unauthorized party. In the event of a data breach, the compromised tokens do not expose the actual sensitive data, ensuring its confidentiality.
