Data masking control

The video tutorial explains data masking as a security control to protect sensitive data, including PII, and comply with legal requirements. It covers the steps to identify data for masking, establish and implement policies, and discusses tools and techniques like anonymization and pseudo anonymization. Anonymization is irreversible, making data unrecognizable, while pseudo anonymization is reversible, allowing data to be decrypted or unscrambled. The tutorial highlights the importance of regularly updating policies and the benefits of these techniques in mitigating data protection risks.
