Abstract
Production data is managed to avoid leakage of sensitive data. One or more of a number of techniques can be employed to discover sensitive data amongst production data. In one instance, data specified about production data in a production application, for example by way of an attribute, can be used to identify sensitive data. Sensitive production data can subsequently be masked to conceal sensitive data from view. Furthermore, metadata regarding sensitive data can be maintained.
