Allowing sensitive data from production applications to be copied and used for development and testing environments increases the potential for theft, loss or exposure -- thus increasing the organization's risk. Data masking is emerging as a best practice for obfuscating real data so it can be safely used in non-production environments. This helps organizations meet compliance requirements for PCI, HIPAA, GLBA and other data privacy regulations.
