Oracle Data Masking and Subsetting is designed to help database customers improve security, accelerate compliance, and reduce IT costs by sanitizing copies of production data for testing, development, and other activities and by  discarding unnecessary data.

Solix Enterprise Data Management Suite (Solix EDMS) is an information lifecycle management solution, from Solix Technologies in Santa Clara. Solix helps infrastructure and operations leaders implement the right policies, processes, and technology for application decommissioning and data retention, and helps users identify infrequently accessed historic data from production applications, and ‘move’ it to a secure archive with data integrity and access preserved. Solix EDMS also identifies otherwise difficult to find PII, PCI, PHI and other sensitive data across the heterogeneous data sources and secure it using the format-preserving data masking.

Oracle Data Masking and Subsetting

Data Masking Tools are security software designed to prevent abuse of sensitive, personal, and identifiable data like social security numbers, bank account information, or commercially sensitive data. The software works by substituting sensitive data with fictitious data usually in nonproduction databases where it is needed for application development or testing.

Emerging technologies are disrupting old paradigms and
unleashing new opportunities. Oracle has embedded innovative technologies in
every aspect of our cloud, enabling companies to reimagine their businesses,
processes, and experiences. The world’s #1 database is now autonomous,
allowing enterprises to innovate at the speed of a startup. And Oracle is the leader and steward of Java, the world's #1 programming language and platform. Oracle provides essential elements for companies to pioneer
innovations and drive new business models. For example, applications based on artificial
intelligence (AI) can suggest the next best actions, automate answers, and
provide personalized service. Oracle embeds machine learning into several
management and security offerings to help monitor, troubleshoot, and predict
potential outages and security breaches. We enable automated but personalized
interactions across our applications via digital assistants—and we’ve
integrated AI into analytics to help discover hidden patterns. 

Oracle helps customers develop roadmaps, migrate to the
cloud, and take advantage of emerging technologies from any point: new cloud
deployments, on-premises environments, and hybrid implementations. Oracle’s
approach makes it easy for companies to get started in the cloud and even
easier to expand as business grows. 

Oracle is the #1 provider of business software, with a broad
portfolio of solutions for companies of all sizes.

Oracle WebLogic Suite

We often send client information to external entities (other agencies, non-profit organizations, etc). While the detailed data is required (they need to be able to drill down from the summary information), there's no need to provide the real name, real SSN, real address, etc. However, we have to maintain referential integrity with the data (that is, if Steve Parker is being masked as John Smith, we need all instances of Steve Parker to yield John Smith). The Oracle Data Masking tool allows us to do just that. We also use it now to create a development/test copy of production data, without risking exposing HIPAA information. Since the access to dev/test environments is not as tight as the access to production, the masking relieves us from worrying about exposing client information in less-secured environments.

Since the access to dev/test environments is not as tight as the access to production, the masking relieves us from worrying about exposing client information in less-secured environments.

Pros and Cons

It offers several ways in which you can mask your data; for example, you can choose to replace all names with "real fake names", or choose to replace all SSNs with existing SSNs, but randomly assigned. You control the algorithm.
It works on non-Oracle databases as well (in our case, we use it for both Oracle and SQL/Server).
The overhead is minimal (it doesn't take long to run, and it doesn't consume too many system resources.

Things done well

The learning curve was not trivial - but we got through it.
Cost - this product is not cheap.

Things done poorly

The tool is excellent when you need to provide all the details about your clients, yet hide their identity - all while maintaining the referential integrity of the data (so child-records of the masked parent record and maintain the same fake ID of the parent).

We have many compliance regulations we need to adhere to. Without this tool, we were always taking a risk of exposing client information, and get penalized by the State of the Feds (the financial consequences are significant).
So while the tool doesn't save us money directly, it greatly reduces the risk we had been taking all these years. To some degree, this is much like an insurance policy.
Given the above, it also allows us to share information with other departments/agencies, in situations where before we simply couldn't take the risk of exposing client information.

Return on Investment

We also looked at Delphix: the tool was quite powerful, easy to use, and competitive from a cost standpoint. However, since our entire data warehouse environment is built on the Oracle technology stack, it made sense to us to use the Oracle product here, as it integrates very well with other Oracle database and ETL products.
