Applimation Provides Proven Data Security Solution for Johns Hopkins APL

Chicago, IL – October  29, 2007 - Applimation, Inc., the leading provider of enterprise data management solutions for packaged and custom applications, announced today that it has been selected by The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) to protect sensitive information in its non-production environments.  

Implementing the Informia™ Secure solution gives APL an automated data privacy tool that allows it to safeguard and protect personally identifiable information in its databases. As privacy regulations continue to increase and data breaches become more frequent, having a security policy set in place allows institutions to protect private information such as academic records, research, clinical and any other personally identifiable information.

The Informia Secure product provides an extensive, data security solution for protecting sensitive information across all database applications within an enterprise.  When securing information in enterprise application databases, institutions can use Applimation’s out of the box accelerators to protect sensitive information without writing any SQL scripts or custom code.  Informia Secure adds further value by enabling compliance with data privacy regulations through providing a sophisticated data masking technique that automatically replaces sensitive data with realistic fully functional masked data, all while maintaining the integrity of the data.

“The Johns Hopkins University APL is a welcomed addition to the Applimation customer base,” said Bob Markese, CEO of Applimation.  “Informia Secure is the right choice for higher education institutions that are looking for a proven data privacy solution.”
