What is better for your Salesforce security: encryption or masking?

Encryption or Masking?

What to choose when securing your Salesforce Sandbox?

I have heard this so many times...
How different is masking from encryption?
I have Shield, so why pay dollars for a masking solution?

Let me clear this up once and for all...
Encryption creates a key that can unlock your data
Masking permanently transforms it

The difference?

One leaves a backdoor
One eliminates it entirely

When we built Cloud Compliance DataMasker
We focused on a transformation that preserves utility
See what happens:
Adam Sandler → Jane Willis
Real person → Fictional person
Usable data → Still completely usable

The advantage?
Your developers can test with realistic data
Your security team can sleep at night
Your compliance officers can check the box

Shield encrypts your data
DataMasker transforms it forever

When someone asks me which approach is better
It depends on what you are trying to achieve.

What approach are you taking with Salesforce Sandbox or Salesforce security?
