Data Masking
Protects unauthorized access to and disclosure of sensitive, private, and confidential information.
Overview
De-identify, de-sensitize, and anonymize sensitive data from unauthorized access for application users, business intelligence, application testing, and outsourcing.
Precision for data privacy laws
Supports the precise controls needed to accommodate data privacy laws and tightly control access to sensitive, private, and confidential information. User access to data can mirror the complex scenarios mandated by the ever-increasing number of data privacy laws and regulations.
Complete coverage
for data security needs
By combining persistent and dynamic masking, and encryption, organizations can provide complete coverage for businesses’ data security needs. Organizations can protect live data; data for testing; data for outsourcing; and data for customer support, analytics, or reporting.
Seamless integration
without modification
Nonintrusive data masking supports heterogeneous environments without the need to modify applications or data. They also complement existing data security controls such as encryption and tokenization without the need to modify settings or configurations.
High performance and nonintrusive
Dynamic and persistent data masking: Dynamic data masking delivers high-throughput and low-latency performance that doesn’t impact user experience. For persistent data masking, Informatica’s proven platform can scale to meet the requirements of organizations that need to mask large data stores. Both solutions integrate without disruption, as no changes are required for applications or databases.
Key Features
Data can be de-identified and de-sensitized so that sensitive information is anonymous when used for support, analytics, testing, or outsourcing.
Precision for data privacy laws
Combinations of personal, health, or credit information can be anonymized to comply with complex cross-border privacy laws and regulations.
Powerful masking and encryption capabilities
A range of masking and encryption functions are repeatable across systems to ensure business processes are reliable and precise. Format preservation during encryption ensures that the application data model can stay the same.
Performance
Dynamic data masking’s high-speed engine ensures no impact on user throughput. Persistent data masking can scale to mask terabytes of data for large test, outsourcing, or analytic projects.
Role-based masking
Based on role and location, dynamic data masking accommodates data security and privacy policies that vary based on users’ locations (e.g., accessing data in the U.S. vs. Switzerland).
Data connectivity
Informatica has developed comprehensive integrations and connectors with its long-term heritage in data integration and management.
Monitoring and compliance reporting
Data security and privacy professionals can validate that identified sensitive data has been masked to meet security and privacy policies.
