The main reason for applying masking to a data field is to protect data from external exposure. for example mobile no. is 9878415877, digits can by shuffle(8987148577) or can replace with other letter/number(first 6 digits replace with X-- xxxxxx5877) by using data masking. We can use any one data masking technique to protect our sensitive data from external exposure. I need a tool which will mask data in existing mysql db.
