Masked data, also known as data masking or data obfuscation, is a technique used to protect sensitive or confidential information by replacing it with fictitious or anonymized data that appears realistic but does not reveal the original data. Data masking is commonly used in non-production environments, such as development, testing, or training, where realistic data is needed but the exposure of actual sensitive data is not required or desired.
