I don't believe it is possible to secure columns or views out of the box.
It maybe possible to hide items with views, but that is not exactly secure.
Hope someone has a better answer too that.
We have a similar business request for allowing certain user to only see certain documents in a document library without having to manually.
I have looked at Tru permissions automation, other than that I have come up empty on this one.
