What Does the Data Masker Do?

The Data Masker removes sensitive data in test databases and replaces it with realistic false information.

Why Do You Want to Mask your Data in Test Databases?

Masked data is a sensible precaution from a business security standpoint and in many cases it is a legal obligation.

Live database environments contain valuable and confidential data - invariably access to this information is tightly controlled. However, each production system usually has one or more replicated development copies and the controls on such test environments are necessarily much looser. This greatly increases the risk that the data might be used inappropriately.

The Data Masker software removes the risk of inappropriate data access by replacing the production data with false information which maintains the same look-and-feel. The test database is perfectly usable - but the data content remains safe and secure.

Securing sensitive information with the Data Masker is a simple, repeatable push-button process. The Data Masker Key Features document contains full details:
