Once a database exceeds a certain size, it becomes expensive — and risky from a security perspective — to provide full-size copies for development, testing, and training. Read More
Big Data
Note: This example demonstrates a more direct method of using IRI FieldShield or IRI Voracity to statically mask PII within structured MongoDB collections. Our older how-to-article on indirect data masking of MongoDB through export/mask/import from 2015 is here, and a newer method through MongoDB’s native driver support in CoSort v10 from 2018 is here.
