Disguise the Data While Retaining Business Value
Traditional approaches, such as encryption, often reduce the intrinsic business value of the data. RAXA™ PROTECT can mask, encrypt or obfuscate the data depending on the level of security required. Unlike data masking, hashing and scrambling, obfuscation removes the sensitive nature of the data while retaining its intrinsic business value. For example, an obfuscated social security number (SSN) will still look and feel like an SSN to the data consumer. An obfuscated street address will still look like a real mailing address. Reports will still reveal actual values for business applications and provide real analytic capabilities, but the sensitive elements within the data are disguised.
Features:
Maintains data relationships across multiple data sources, retaining underlying business value
Supports all major cryptographic standards
Supports compliance standards such as PCI and HIPAA
Metadata driven, reversible obfuscation
Incremental obfuscation provides update capabilities for protected datasets
Benefits:
Generates desensitized data that looks and acts like real data
Allows use of desensitized production data for testing
Maintains referential integrity between multiple source systems over time
Reduces reliance on endpoint security needs when data is lost via a stolen laptop, USB key, CDs, emailed files, etc.
Produces consistent, repeatable obfuscation across multiple data extracts and multiple source systems
Provides ability to access original source system data
