Exam CCSP topic 1 question 174 discussion

Masking protects data in use Tokenization typically use to protect data at rest Obfuscation scrambles sensitive data Anonymization permanently replaces sensitive data with a substitute value

Tokenization is correct.

The correct answer is: C. Tokenization Explanation: Tokenization involves replacing sensitive data with opaque, non-sensitive substitutes called tokens. These tokens can be mapped back to the original values using a secure token vault or lookup table, but have no intrinsic meaning or value outside the specific system. This method is commonly used for credit card processing and other sensitive data management scenarios

C is correct - Tokenization, when applied to data security, is the process of substituting a sensitive data element with a non-sensitive equivalent, referred to as a token, that has no intrinsic or exploitable meaning or value. The token is a reference (i.e. identifier) that maps back to the sensitive data through a tokenization system.

Masking is the answer. Tokenisation mean the value is changed for a token that you can convert to the original value in another DB.

C. Tokenization

Poorly worded question.

Why Masking or Obfuscation are not the answers? Algorithmic substitution of Data Masking allows re-generation of real data too.
