FREMONT, Calif., Aug. 21, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Dataguise , a leader in data privacy protection and compliance, today announced the company has been recognized in a new report on data masking by Gartner titled, Market Guide for Data Masking. As data growth continues and data analytics becomes a mission critical operation throughout the enterprise, Dataguise has been supporting the need to protect sensitive information in the wake of new data privacy regulations such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Dataguise data masking capabilities give customers flexibility and choice when sharing data with semi-trusted users either inside the organization or with external partners.
“By 2021, the global enterprise use of data masking (DM) or similar de-identification techniques will increase to 40%, an increase from 15% in 2017,” according to Gartner in the Market Guide for Data Masking 1 . “DM protects sensitive data by providing users fictitious, yet realistic data, instead of real and sensitive data, while maintaining their ability to carry out business processes.” 1

Keeping up to date with changes in the environment is important. Regulatory requirements and threats change, application schema changes, additional data sources or applications, or changes in the quantity of data to mask can affect the performance and effectiveness of the masking implementation and require periodic adjustments.”
