Securing the Test Data Management
Posted by davidstech on July 9, 2008
Private and confidential customer and company data is often locked in production systems. Credit card data, social security numbers, financial, HR data and customer lists are just a few of the fields that need to be secured. The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act and HIPAA are just the latest in a long line of privacy regulations that will directly impact organizations that fail to secure their corporate data. Solix Secure Test and Development enacts policy based archiving schemes where specific, sensitive data is masked according to pre-set algorithms before the database is released to the test environment. Data Masking helps in protecting data in less secure environments.
