You just hired an outside developer to modernize some applications with new web services and functionality. In order to implement a comprehensive test platform for validation, the developer needs a data set that resembles a production data set in both size and composition.
In order to accomplish this, what type of masking would you use?

A. Development
B. Replicated
C. Static
D. Dynamic

Correct Answer: C

Explanation:

Explanation: Static masking takes a data set and produces a copy of it, but with sensitive data fields masked. This allows for a full data set from production for testing purposes, but without any sensitive data. Dynamic masking works with a live system and is not used to produce a distinct copy. The terms “replicated” and “development” are not types of masking.
