Because so many organizations use production data to populate their test environments, non-production data is a key target for attackers seeking access to sensitive information. Non-production and test data volumes may also be many times greater than production, thus enlarging the vulnerable attack surface further.

As it is most often stored unencrypted, sensitive test data is exposed not only to outside attackers, but to insider threats as well such as testers, consultants and software developers. To establish a compensating control, data security compliance frameworks such as HIPAA, PCI DSS and FISMA establish name non-production data masking as a necessary control.

The Solution — Solix EDMS Data Masking

Solix EDMS Data Masking is perfect for training, testing, development and offshore environments. Because it de-identifies or scrambles sensitive data with fictionalized, but syntactically correct substitute data, developers and testers maintain necessary realism and sensitive data is properly secured.
