Quickly and effectively mask and de-identify sensitive records for Teradata

Many organizations are still storing and maintaining roughly twelve to fifteen copies of production databases (per database) for provisioning test and development environments. As production databases grow larger and larger, the overhead costs of this start to multiply immensely. Organizations must continuously find storage and server space, manually edit and manipulate large amounts of data to ensure it is project-specific, and adequately obfuscate and mask the data so it maintains compliance standards. As many organizations have complicated IT infrastructures with hundreds of applications, sophisticated table structures and cross platform integration, it is no wonder help is needed.

Fast Data Masking™ is the only official data masking solution for Teradata, offering a fast and easy tool to mask and de-identify sensitive records quickly. Using a powerful array of functions, the product automatically masks, compresses and reorganizes test and development data in one operation. The Grid-Tools masking functions, seed tables and high performance techniques allow the user to quickly create secure, anonymized, legally compliant databases for testing and development.
