Who is viewing your sensitive data?

Enterprise applications and data warehouses are repositories for the “crown jewels” any organization’s intellectual property. Leading enterprises today have improved the way they secure their production databases and enterprise applications. Many of these same enterprises, however, are not paying enough attention to how this data is being used for activities such as development, test, QA, support and business analysis. Once data is duplicated from a production source, multiple copies of that data can proliferate throughout the enterprise. Personally Identifiable Information (PII) and other sensitive or proprietary information can be exposed to external users such as outsourced development partners, viewed by internal users who don’t have a “need to know,” and become attractive targets for data theft malware attacks.

Masking transparently protects sensitive application data

Data masking is a state-of-the-art technique for protecting sensitive application data in non-production environments. Masking works by transforming the sensitive data in an application data set so that it maintains its value for uses such as test, development and business intelligence. Unlike encryption techniques, masking does not require a complex key generation and management and does not need to be decrypted before use. As a result, sensitive data protected by masking is completely secure from accidental or intentional disclosure even when being used by a downstream application.
