This is the second of two articles on creating a new IRI Voracity® ETL job flow from the job design Palette in the IRI Workbench, built on Eclipse. Read More
Encrypting Multiple Columns to Preserve Referential Integrity [video]
In this demonstration, the Multi-Table Protect Job Wizard in the IRI Workbench GUI for Fieldshield and Voracity is used to define a rule for data in multiple Oracle tables. Read More
Applying Field Rules Using Classification
The IRI Voracity data management platform (and IRI FieldShield data masking product within) now allow you to auto-define data classes and groups based on your business glossaries or domain ontologies and apply transformation rules to those classes across multiple data sources and fields. Read More
Data Classification in IRI Workbench
Users of PII masking tools like FieldShield, DarkShield, and CellShield EE in the IRI Data Protector Suite or Voracity platform can catalog and search their data — and apply data transformation and protection functions as rules — using built-in data classification infrastructure in their common front-end IDE, IRI Workbench, built on Eclipse™.

Consistent, Cross-Table Data Pseudonymization
Applying a Pseudonym Rule in the IRI Workbench GUI for FieldShield or Voracity
To create pseudonym values that will be consistent across tables — and keep up with changing data in those tables — the IRI Workbench GUI for FieldShield and Voracity now includes a Flow Diagram Palette item for Pseudonymization. Read More
Intra-Cell Search & Mask Feature of IRI CellShield EE…
IRI CellShield™ Enterprise Edition now offers an Intra-Cell Search feature that finds and protects sensitive data in unstructured cell contents with masking, encryption, or pseudonymization.

Database Subsetting – How to in IRI Voracity
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
Direct Data Masking for MongoDB (2nd Method)
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.

Data Quality and Fuzzy Searching
IRI is now also delivering fuzzy search functions, both in its free database and flat-file profiling tools, and as available field-function libraries in IRI CoSort, FieldShield, and Voracity to augment data quality, security, and MDM capabilities. Read More
