Fabricating PII
What is the Identity Fabrication Rule?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
SQL Server SSL Connection
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.

Bloor Research on Data Classification in IRI Voracity
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
DarkShield PII Discovery & Masking Charts
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
Masking PII in a Relational DB with FieldShield
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
Masking RDB Data in the DarkShield GUI
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
Find & Mask File PII in the DarkShield GUI
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
