DataGuise Introduces Data Masking
 

DataGuise, a provider of data security and compliance solutions for enterprises, today announced the first masking in place (MIP) solution for multi-database environments such as Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, and others. The company states that the dgSolution Suite provides secure masking of database content and is designed for the highest level of flexibility and functionality across heterogeneous environments. It further states that beyond conventional masking tools, it brings point-and-click usability while delivering the feature set for streamlined application development, testing and training.

The company articulates that prevention of unauthorized access to privileged corporate information must be a mandatory business directive. Analysts indicate that a growing percentage of data breaches result from insider access to corporate data stored across databases. Additionally, the outsourcing of production data to off-shore processing organizations removes access controls to privileged data, moving organizations outside of regulatory compliance. It avers that in addition to financial and legal penalties, security violations can result in investor concerns, negative publicity and lack of trust from the organizational constituents that include customers.

''Core to our technology is the architecture which simplifies methods used for managing multiple databases, allowing rapid deployment of non-production test environments. This ease-of-use is woven throughout the solution and reduces deployment time from months to days,'' said Erik Jarlstrom, Vice President of Customer Advocacy. ''Under the hood of this easy to use solution is intelligence that de-identifies data using processes designed to preserve data integrity. Engineered for usability, the DataGuise solution ensures that sensitive data is fully cleansed before leaving the production network.''
