Options for depersonalizing sensitive production data for use in your test environments
John Haldeman, Guardium Software Engineer with Information Insights, was featured on IBM developerWorks®. Haldeman
writes that many organizations use production data to populate their
test environments. The problem with this is that if there is
sensitive data in your production environment, then you are
exposing that data to software developers and testers. IBM®
offers the following two solutions to solve this problem:
The InfoSphere® Optim® Data Masking option for Test Data
Management and the InfoSphere DataStage Pack for Data Masking. Both mask
data and depersonalize it while still maintaining it's
realism.
This article explores the common functions that both solutions have that are requirements for effective data masking, and then it explores the differences between the products. After reading this article you should be able to pick the right IBM data masking solution to best meet your requirements.
