Partner Communications, Chief Information Security Officer Informatica Dynamic Data Masking is data masking software that in real time, dynamically masks sensitive information, and blocks, audits, and alerts end users, IT personnel, and outsourced teams who access sensitive information while ensuring quick compliance with privacy regulations.
With organizations collecting more and more sensitive data and with recent publicity about highprofile data losses, organizations are aggressively investing in data privacy and data security technologies to prevent damage to their reputation, minimize unforeseen costs, and limit fines. In fact, in the 2010 U.S. Cost of a Data Breach benchmark study by Ponemon Institute found that the:
Average cost of a data breach is $7.2 million and $214 per compromised record Highest percentage of data breaches came from insider negligence at 41%

Dynamic Data Masking ensures that both IT and business users using applications and tools access personal information on a need-to-know basis.

Companies and government organizations need to minimize the risk of data breaches and speed compliance with privacy regulations by by de-identifying data and controlling unauthorized access to production environments with comprehensive dynamic data masking software. They require sophisticated, but flexible data obfuscation rules that allow them to apply different kinds of masks to different kinds of data depending upon a users authentication level. Informatica Dynamic Data Masking prevents end users, customers, partners, production support, DBAs, and offshore and outsource workers from accessing sensitive and personal information that is not necessary to perform their job as mandated by various data privacy regulations and directives.

the Product
Informatica Dynamic Data Masking is built on a patented database network in-line proxy, transparently installed between applications and databases. Acting as a database listener, the proxy processes all inbound application requests coming from application screens, canned reports, and development tools; once they are analyzed or acted on, they are then sent to the database for prompt execution. Through a simple yet elegant rules engine, criteria can be specified to identify which SQL statements are to be acted upon (rewritten). When there is a match, Informatica Dynamic Data Masking software applies one or more actions, including mask, scramble, hide, rewrite, block, or redirect.
