I wanted a company with modern approach to Data Masking and lots of experience. I also required a command line interface that could be executed remotely. The company was easy to deal with and prepared to work with new software vendors.
How Satisfied is Your Organization with the Product Meeting Your Needs?
FieldShield from Innovative Routines International (IRI) - provides a rich and powerful set of field-applicable routines to mask private data according to business rules. Highly scalable and offering a better alternative than Oracle Corporation's own masking suite. There are about a dozen of categories which includes protection functions, and the ability to 'roll your own'. Simple configration files specify the routines, and resultant masking paves the way for other vendors to integrate with the product.
The Eclipse GUI includes a number of sensitive data discovery features and job creation wizards to facilitate target field masking and remapping at the same time, and ETL-style workflow diagrams support integration and masking of multiple sources at once.
A separate SDK gives DBAs, big data architects, and application developers like us (patchVantage) callable routines that we can use to build innovative dynamic data masking solutions. The company has been in business for almost 40 years. Its flexible (and frankly, more affordable) licensing models position FieldShield competitively among mega vendors addressing the same kinds of cyber security threats.
