AI and machine learning are only as good as the data that fuel and teach them. Whether you’re building models for predictive analytics, computer vision, or natural language processing, the importance of high-quality, representative data can’t be overstated. Read More
The identity fabrication rule is a deterministic but non-reversible data masking rule that can help you create realistic test PII for a whole record from just one original value. Read More
Since SQL Server has changed the functionality and default behavior of their driver, this article will go over the basic ODBC and JDBC connections required for the IRI software backend (CoSort SortCL engine in Voracity) and job design front-end (IRI Workbench, respectively, to Microsoft SQL Server databases on-premise or in the cloud which use encrypted connections.

IRI Voracity is a data management platform that we have previously talked about at some length. It offers capabilities for data integration, data governance, data masking, test data management, data quality, data cleansing, data migration, and so on (and on, and on). Read More
As you may already know, IRI DarkShield produces search annotations and masking results with every operation. These log files can contain a large volume of data, including:
metadata about the file/database source(s) what data was found as a match which matcher matched the data how the data was masked (if it was) where matches occurred within each file or database. Read More
The New Data Class Map DB Masking Job wizard in the IRI Workbench GUI for FieldShield creates IRI FieldShield job (.scl) scripts which, when run, will mask one or more tables in one or more schemas. Read More
Editor’s Note: This article is part of a series of articles on using DarkShield to search and mask sensitive data in relational databases. This new support for RDB sources in DarkShield can augment or replace IRI FieldShield support for the same data classes, locational searches and masking functions for certain use cases. Read More
IRI DarkShield includes fit-for-purpose facilities in the graphical IRI Workbench IDE that build jobs to search (classify) and mask (remediate) PII and other sensitive data in “dark data” sources. Read More
IRI DarkShield Version 5 includes a Remote Procedure Call (RPC) Application Programming Interface (API) for searching and masking data stored in relational databases. Note that DarkShield also features a fit-for-purpose job wizard in IRI Workbench for databases, which can be an alternative to RDB data discovery and masking in IRI FieldShield for certain use cases.

Abstract: HIPAA, GDPR, FERPA, and other data privacy laws require that personally identifiable information (PII) and related data considered sensitive be protected from disclosure or discovery. Read More
MariaDB and MySQL are relational databases that follow the same paradigm when it comes to setting up connections with SortCL-driven Voracity component jobs designed in IRI Workbench. Read More
