CompTIA Security+ study material · question 193 of 611

A support screen shows only the last four digits of an account number, while the full value remains in the database. Which control is in use, and what does it not protect against?

  1. Anonymisation; it does not protect backups
  2. Tokenisation; it does not protect the token vault
  3. Encryption; it does not protect data in use
  4. Masking; it does not protect the database
Show the answer

Answer: D. Masking; it does not protect the database

Masking limits what is displayed. The full value is still stored and still exposed by a database breach.
