Best Data Masking Tools and Software on the market in 2019
There are some good and reliable Data Masking tools and software available on the market. Let’s take a look.
1. IBM InfoSphere Optim Data Masking Solution
Features :
- IBM InfoSphere Optim Data Masking Solution can mask data in databases, across multiple related systems, warehouses as well as big data environments.
- It can mask data in both production and non-production environments.
- It can be used to mask data in near real time for applications or business reports also.
- It can use various Data Masking techniques like substitution, concatenation, date aging, random or sequential number generation etc to mask the data effectively.
- IBM InfoSphere Optim Data Masking Solution can protect sensitive data like date of birth, account number, credit card number, national identifiers, addresses, postal codes, email addresses etc.
- It can find out where the sensitive data resides and mask the data.
- InfoSphere Information Analyzer can be used along with IBM InfoSphere Optim Data Masking Solution. InfoSphere Information Analyzer can examine data values across multiple sources to determine transformation rules that can hide the sensitive data.

2. Oracle Data Masking and Subsetting
Features :
- Oracle Data Masking and Subsetting can be applied on a cloned copy of the original data. Data Masking can also be done at the time of database export without the need of a staging server.
- Data Masking can be done on Oracle databases. It can also be performed on non-Oracle databases by staging the data in oracle database using relevant Oracle Database Gateway.
- Using Oracle Data Masking, one can extract entire copy or subset of a database, mask the data and share the masked data for internal purposes or share it with third-parties outside the business.
- Application Data Modeling can automatically identify sensitive data within Oracle database based on certain patterns like credit card numbers, national identifiers etc.
- One can use pre-defined masking formats for masking sensitive data like credit card numbers, national identifiers etc. One can also download masking templates for selected version of Oracle E-Business Suite and Oracle Fusion Applications.
- One can also mask data based on a condition, so that for a given input the masked data is consistent.
- One can also apply subsetting on the database based on database size, number of rows or conditions such as region, department, time etc.
Price : Oracle Data Masking and Subsetting costs $230 per user and $50.60 for Software Update License and Support. Per processor license is $11,500 per processor and $2,530 for Software Update License and Support.
3. Informatica Data Masking
Features
- Informatica has products on Dynamic Data Masking and Persistent Data Masking. It supports Field Encryption also. One can combine these to protect live data on production systems as well as generate real looking data for testing, applications development, analytics, customer support, reporting and share the masked data to third-parties as well.
- Informatica Dynamic Data Masking can mask data in near real time without significant impact on performance.
- Persistent Data Masking can mask terabytes of data for large test, outsourcing or analytic projects.
- It supports Format Preserving Encryption (What is Format Preserving Encryption ?) using which one can encrypt sensitive data preserving the format of the data.
- Informatica Dynamic Data Masking can mask data based on user roles or location. One can apply data masking rules based on user authentication level.
- It also helps in complying with various cross border data privacy laws and regulations.

4. Mentis Data Masking
Features :
- Mentis Data Masking can be used for various environments like production, non-production and User Acceptance Testing (UAT) environments.
- Static Data Masking iScramble can be used for most of the non-production environments. Using iScramble one can mask sensitive data using various masking techniques and generate anonymized and de-identified data. But, if decisions are to be made from the non-production databases, like in the case of integration testing, then one has to use Dynamic Data Masking or Blended Data Masking (What are the different types of masking and which one to use when ?).
- iMask is the Dynamic Data Masking solution. Using this one can apply role-based, conditional and location-based masking.
- For pre-production environments, one can use Blended Data Masking. Integrated architecture combines both Static and Dynamic Data Masking in the same environment.
- Mentis Data Masking allows custom masking for database purposes and it supports seggregation of duties.
- It can mask data from various data sources like relational databases, hierarchical databases, big data and file servers.
