Discover and Protect Sensitive Data: Key Benefits of Data Masking
Too often traditional approaches to securing sensitive data begin and end with firewalls and encryption. While these techniques are useful they do not address two fundamental challenges - the challenge of knowing where all sensitive data resides and the reality that encrypted data must at some point be unencrypted. For anyone concerned with application security the use of next generation masking technology for non-production data must be considered. Additionally in a business environment of increasing regulation regarding personal data protection, organizations are in need of solutions that provide efficiency and consistency in securing sensitive data throughout the entire enterprise. This Webcast discussion covers what data masking is and the factors driving its adoption. Also included is what every security or compliance professional needs to understand in order to efficiently find, discover and mask information in structured databases across the enterprise.
