Pseudonymization vs Anonymization

Pseudonymization, a process where personal data is replaced with artificial identifiers, is a popular method for attempting to secure data. While it adds a layer of protection, it is less secure than full anonymization since the data still exists in a form that could potentially be linked back to an individual. This makes pseudonymization effective under certain conditions but not as robust as methods that completely remove or alter the identifiable data.
