Applimation Informia™ Secure
Enabling Enterprise Data Privacy
Information security has emerged as one of the biggest challenges facing organizations. Data and privacy custodians such as the Chief Information Officer, Chief Security Officer, and General Counsel are under tremendous regulatory pressure to protect data from the inside out. Recent years have seen numerous high profile cases of data breaches at public corporations, government institutions and privately held companies. Any organization not proactively taking steps to protect its sensitive information risks legal consequences, loss of trust, negative publicity, and damage to its reputation.

Applimation Informia Secure provides a comprehensive, automated data privacy solution for sensitive data stored in everything from mission critical production systems to internal QA and development environments to long-term data repositories over a heterogeneous IT infrastructure. At the same time, Informia Secure allows professionals to access application functionality and sensitive data for legitimate business purposes.
Using Informia Secure, your organization benefits from a large set of powerful masking algorithms that use the following techniques:
- Substitution, which replaces a value in the column with fictionalized data
- Randomization, which replaces the value with random data
- Shuffling, which switches column values between records
- Nullifying, which replaces column values with NULL
- Mathematical formulae and functions, which make substitutions based on values derived through mathematical formulae, custom functions, or other algorithms
- Character substring masking, which replaces a particular substring with a custom mask of the user's choice
- Skewing, which alters the numeric data by a random variance
- Encryption/decryption, which employs reversible scrambling
When masking data, Informia Secure removes any indication of the original value while preserving the integrity of database relationships and the format of the data to enable end users to easily navigate through the interface screens and understand the data. Informia Secure also preserves the business application layer data validation by substituting actual data with realistic data that is either generated or substituted from a pre-packaged dataset or from user-defined data sets. Masking rules can be stored and scheduled across the enterprise to simplify standardization and compliance. Simulations allow you to see the effect of your data masking policy without actually implementing it in the database. Auditing and reporting allow your organization to demonstrate your compliance with legislation requiring data privacy.
Driving Applimation's Informia Secure is the Applimation Enterprise Data Manager (EDM), which provides centralized management of all application data throughout an organization from a unified, integrated platform. Informia EDM comes pre-populated with accelerators for major business applications such as Oracle, PeopleSoft, and Siebel to address your immediate data management requirements. EDM also includes a GUI-based extensibility component for custom and 3rd party solutions. This combination of out-of-the-box capabilities with complete extensibility ensures that EDM is the enterprise solution for all data growth, data protection, and data compliance requirements.
