"Benefits of Data Obfuscation

1.     Improved Data Security: Obfuscating data makes it harder for malicious actors to access and misuse sensitive information. By obscuring data, organizations can protect their critical information from potential breaches.
2.     Reduced Risk of Regulatory Fines: Data obfuscation can help organizations comply with data privacy regulations and avoid hefty fines.
3.     Improved Data Sharing: Data obfuscation enables organizations to share data with third parties without compromising the privacy of its customers or employees.
4.     Reduced Data Storage Costs: By reducing the size of datasets through data obfuscation, organizations can reduce the cost of storing and managing data.
5.     Improved Data Analysis: Obfuscated data can provide insights into larger datasets that may not be accessible otherwise. This can help organizations better understand customer behavior or detect patterns in large datasets."

"A new book by two New York University professors offers a fresh perspective on how individuals and corporations can hide their more private information in plain sight. The book, "Obfuscation: A User's Guide for Privacy and Protest," surveys the more interesting historical examples of the notion and provides some interesting context for practical use."  https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/obfuscation
