Axis Technology, a provider of enterprise data offerings, has unveiled DMsuite Enterprise Edition, a new data masking platform that works directly with Informatica PowerCenter and automates the data provisioning and masking processes.
According to Axis Technology, the DMsuite Enterprise Edition has the ability to create mappings in Informatica, enabling businesses to leverage their existing data integration investment to mask data. This enhances and complements the Extract-Transform-Load (ETL) feature of Informatica PowerCenter, allowing DMsuite Enterprise Edition to perform within existing infrastructure, without requiring manual coding and maintenance of thousands of Informatica jobs.
DMsuite Enterprise Edition presents options for masking algorithms, mapplets provided by Informatica, or self-written mapplets to use with DMsuite Enterprise Edition. DMsuite is specifically built for self-service provisioning functionality and protects Oracle, SQL Server, Sybase, and DB2 environments, as well as file formats such as VSAM, delimited, XML, XLS and flat files, Axis Technology said.
The company said that the new offering central point of control is to enable easy operation, administration, logging and auditing, all while maintaining referential integrity across business lines and different platforms.
The new offering features repeatable algorithms that automatically maintain referential integrity, fits into a company’s global environment, allows the flexibility of masking data in-place or on-the-fly, automatically identifies sensitive data which substantially reduces analysis time and costs, and delivers masked data safely, the company said.
Mike Logan, president of Axis Technology, said: “DMsuite Enterprise Edition is an exciting development for the way data security is approached within complex enterprise environments.
“Maintaining and protecting data is not just a matter of compliance, it is also about reputation and customer peace of mind. Businesses have enough to worry about when it comes to day to day operations, and whether or not their data is properly secured should not be one of them.”
