Fast Data Masking™ for Oracle, DB2, Teradata and SQL Server

What is Fast Data Masking?

Fast Data Masking™ is a powerful data masking module within Datamaker™ and Enterprise Data Masking™. Fast Data Masking™ supports most major databases, as well as all flat file types; using native database drivers to ensure compliance and quality when masking large volumes of data.

Why Fast Data Masking?

Under current industry regulations and guidelines, maintaining compliance has become a mandatory operation. Non-compliance not only carries the risk of heavy fines and damage to public reputation, but fails to adequately secure commercially sensitive data. However, whilst masking data for use in non-production is a regulatory standard, provisioning the right sort of test data has business benefits that go beyond compliance. As well as avoiding the risk of heavy penalties; high quality, meaningful test data means better testing, which in turn means fewer time and budget overruns in your project.

Fast Data Masking™, a component of Datamaker™ and Enterprise Data Masking™, is an industrial-strength data masking module designed to improve the efficiency, quality and compliance of your masking operations for large volumes of data. Fast Data Masking™ uses native database drivers, meaning that it can ensure compliance for your data faster than any other tool on the market!

Using comprehensive data discovery functionality, Fast Data Masking™ is able to identify and uncover all potentially sensitive data in the project. This can then be masked using an extensive range of built-in and user-defined masking functions, including: randomisation, substitution, hashing, shuffling and encryption/decryption algorithms, to ensure full regulatory compliance.

Fast Data Masking™ also ensures that your masked data maintains its referential and business integrity by applying these masking rules consistently across all data sources, tables and executions within the project. This is done automatically, but can also be achieved manually by using the cross-referencing feature.

Fast Data Masking™ also offers secure dynamic data masking, extracting data into a staging area and passing it through a masked view, before building shadow tables. This is quicker than trying to mask large volumes in situ and more secure than using SQL interception techniques for dynamic masking.
