## [Why Your Data Security Strategy Should Include Data Masking](https://www.cloudmask.com/blog/why-your-data-security-strategy-should-include-data-masking)

 Data Masking/Tokenization/Anonymization replaces sensitive information with fictitious data while retaining the original data format.

## [Court Rulings Limit Privacy Protections From Data Residency](https://www.cloudmask.com/blog/court-rulings-limit-privacy-protections-from-data-residency)

 Jurisdictions around the world, including the European Union and Canada, are enacting laws and creating regulations forcing companies that collect personally identifiable information (PII) to store the data of their residents within their national boundaries. This concept is known as data residency and the idea is that local privacy laws will apply to data stored...

## [Should You Encrypt Data Before it Goes to the Cloud?](https://www.cloudmask.com/blog/should-you-encrypt-data-before-it-goes-to-the-cloud)

## [Does Data Residency Reduce Cloud Risks?](https://www.cloudmask.com/blog/does-data-residency-reduce-cloud-risks)

 Countries are establishing data residency regulation to protect private and classified data generated from their citizen by mandating storing this information within that country (the country of origin).
