IBM Optim Data Privacy Solution Protecting data privacy is of primary importance to businesses today. Most organizations are now making efforts to protect sensitive data in live application environments. Data privacy protection has assumed great significance thanks to stringent rules and regulations governing the management and security of data. Moreover, with data breach incidents making headlines every day, protecting data privacy has become a vital requirement to every business. Several industry experts have designed solutions to help organizations protect the privacy of their data. IBM Optim Data Privacy Solution is one of the leading data privacy solutions in the market today. Designed with an aim to address the most vulnerable areas of the IT infrastructure- the non-production environments, the IBM Optim solution for data privacy employs unique capabilities and best practices to ensure complete data privacy and security. This sophisticated data privacy solution comes with the ability to ‘de-identify’ and mask production data making it possible to protect sensitive data while also supporting the testing process. Data Masking is a simple concept but can be quite challenging to execute, since most organizations work with complex, heterogeneous, interrelated applications, databases, and platforms. This makes it difficult to identify where sensitive data is stored, and how the data is distributed across disparate systems. IBM Optim addresses this challenge effectively, by discovering sensitive data across databases, and masking them effectively. IBM Optim Data Privacy Solution unlike most other data privacy solutions provides comprehensive capabilities that enable organizations to safeguard their sensitive data efficiently by:
Protecting personally-identifiable information, trade secrets and other sensitive data Masking confidential data easily using predefined transformations and site-specific routines Detecting and locating hidden instances of confidential data so that they can be fully protected Making them fully compliant with all privacy regulations and corporate governance standards
