Data masking is a core element of any data security strategy. By replacing sensitive data fromdatabases with realistic and functional disguised values, DataMasque empowers teams to safely
deploy all of their data as clones in non-production environments—development and testing (dev/test), analytics, and training, for example. As teams move from releasing code a handful of times
a year to many times a day, it has become business imperative to deploy proactive monitoring forsensitive data that also helps ensure that data is masked for security and compliance needs.
The DataMasque Sensitive Data Discovery solution highlights unmasked sensitive data within clones
and proactively alerts organizations if and when new columns or tables that contain sensitive data
are added. Moreover, by giving dev/test teams high-quality, production-like data with sensitive
information veiled, valuable staff resources eliminate the time-consuming process of handcrafting
data outside of production environments to meet compliance requirements and quickly move tomore innovative work. The combination of DataMasque and Cohesity clones with masked data
accelerates work delivery, putting high-quality data at dev/test professionals’ fingertips.
