Embrace Obfuscation (Data Masking, Scrambling, etc)

I have decided to join the rolls of the blogosphere by blogging about data masking. I founded a company in 2004 to address security issues in non-production ERP databases - and our solution was a product called iScramble (www.mentisoftware.com/iScramble.html) to address specifically the challenges when embarking on a data masking project, and to provide an automated, easy-to-use, quick-to-deploy solution for the same.

 Over the next several posts, I will talk about the need, the business case, lessons learned, and what to look for when selecting a masking product/ solution.

Your comments, suggestions, thoughts, critiques are most welcome!

Best,
