This is the last in a four-part series to introduce IRI CellShield. An overview is found here. The following parts demonstrate how to use the other functions in CellShield: data masking and encryption. Read More
This is the third in a four-part series describing IRI CellShield data masking software for Excel, and its format-preserving encryption function in particular; the series overview starts here. Read More
This is the second in a four-part series to introduce IRI CellShield. An overview is found here. The other parts demonstrate how to use more functions in CellShield like encryption and pseudonymization. Read More
This article is second in a 3-part series on using IRI products to expand functionality and improve performance in Pentaho systems. We first demonstrate how to improve sorting performance, and then introduce ways to mask production data, and create test data, in the Pentaho Data Integration (PDI) environment. Read More
This article is third in a 3-part series on CLF and ELF web log data. We first introduced CLF and ELF web log formats, then introduced IRI solutions for processing web log data, and here we conclude by masking private data in web log files. Read More
Abstract: Amid the still-growing problem of data breaches, and new v3 requirements of the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) in effect, it has never been more important to protect sensitive data properly. Read More
