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 the IBM Optim product 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 interchange file. After you
generate the Optim interchange
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.
