I recently presented (in french) the new Oracle Data Masking on a post of this blog. It’s now time to inform you that the Oracle Applications Demonstration System (ADS) team released a new Oracle Data Masking Pack demo. This demo is available for our prospects, customers and partners. I have had the opportunity to see this demonstration, and I have to say that’s really a great stuff! So, I recommend you to ask your Oracle sales reprensative to organise this demonstration with your team.
This demo shows how enterprises can share production data with internal users and 3rd parties without compromising confidentiality policies or privacy regulations. The demo is targeted at security administrators who specify corporate standards for masking sensitive information such as credit card numbers or social security numbers in the Data Masking Format Library. It is also targeted at Application Developers and Database Administrators who can then take these data mask formats defined by security administrators and create Data Masking definitions that map the sensitive data in various tables and columns to the appropriate Masking formats. Once the Data Masking definition has been completed, the demo shows how the DBA can automate the entire data masking process by running the mask definition against a clone of production data and replacing all the sensitive data with scrubbed data thus ensuring compliance with privacy and confidentiality policies.
This demo shows the following capabilities in the Data Masking Pack:
As an Oracle partner, you can also used our ADS environments to demonstrate the Data Masking Pack to your customers and prospects. Please visit http://partners.oracleads.com/ for more details.
For our customer, we are looking for a masking solution where masking of databases can occur end-to-end.
Therefore we’d like to know if the relational integrity relationships can be implemented across multiple (10) databases joined via links.
If this is possible, can we have a demo?
Yes. This use case is solved using deterministic masking. Please contact us and we can send you some PL/SQL that we have implemented that addresses this use case. Deterministic masking requires the use of an “User Defined Function” that will deterministically always map a specific value (X) to a mask value (Y) irrespective of which database is used to perform the mask.
