Generating masked test data from physical data models
You can use the workbench with the IBM® Optim product to generate masked test
data from the production data in a database. You work in a physical data model
to complete this task.
You can also generate reports that can be shared with other team members
(such as security officers, business analysts, architects, database administrators,
and quality engineers) to demonstrate regulatory compliance.
Generating masked test data to protect data privacy
Data masking is used to ensure data privacy in non-production environments
for purposes such as software development and testing, software user training,
or data mining and research. You can use this product with IBM Optim to mask
your enterprise test data.
Exporting a physical data model to IBM Optim
After you annotate a physical data model with data privacy and
masking options, you can export the data information to an Optim export file
(*.oef). After you generate the Optim export file, you can open it in the IBM Optim
product and use it to generate masked test data so that sensitive information
is not available to non-authorized developers.
