Protect Your Company’s Sensitive Data While Improving Test Data Quality
It’s estimated that more than 50 percent of the data stored in databases could be classified as confidential. With your IT organization collecting and storing more sensitive data for longer periods of time, breaches of data privacy carry more risk than ever before.
A leading privacy and data protection research group put a price tag on data breaches. The average cost of a data breach reached an all-time high in 2008: $202 per record and $6.6 million per company (source: Ponemon Institute).
Businesses and government organizations are relying on their IT organizations to spearhead comprehensive policies for data privacy within their IT projects such as application development and quality assurance, as well as outsourcing, training, and offshoring initiatives. Because the privacy concerns are enterprise-wide, your IT team needs to conduct data masking and test data management across a wide variety of applications, databases, and platforms.
Database security solutions are hard to configure and administer. Hand coding a data privacy solution is error prone, tedious, and labor intensive. You need a single, powerful environment from which to execute and manage data privacy policies. You also need a comprehensive list of data obfuscation techniques and a vast array of application-aware metadata that can be reused across multiple projects.
