Sensitive data is secured in non-production environments through Data masking

networkworld.com

The process of de-identifying (masking) specific elements within data stores by applying one-way algorithms to the data is known as Data masking. The process ensures that sensitive data is replaced with realistic but not real data; for example, scrambling the digits in a Social Security number while preserving the data format. The one-way nature of the algorithm means there is no need to maintain keys to restore the data as you would with encryption or tokenization.
