Test Data Management

IBM Optim for data privacy, data masking and data subsetting

Considering the recent headlines around large-scale identity theft it should come as no surprise that 75% of data theft is perpetrated internally. If you - or your CXO - are concerned about reducing your organization's exposure to identity theft and ensuring you'll safely pass a compliance audit then you need to be thinking about the multiple environments in which you store sensitive customer data.

Most organizations maintain multiple environments including at a minimum a production environmement, test environment, UAT environment, training environment. Often times, these multiple environments are populates with real customer data including social security numbers, credit card information, and in the case of financial services institutions - mother's maiden name and bank account numbers. Subsetting data and then masking data so that it is encrypted yet retains the referential integrity required for testing purposes is the only way to accomplish your testing goals while achieving compliance with data privacy regulation.
