As new technologies like Delphix and EMR change data from monolithic heavy lift to lightweight and seamless object as an API returned object, we are now exploring the need to secure data with just an API call.
Comparing to encryption which has always been available via Programmatic interfaces, the encrypted data does not need to be application compatible or formatted and where the resultant ciphertext is always gibberish; Data masking (which is run for a much higher volume of data in Non-prod read : here) has been available only as batch and interactive execution. The time for data-masking API is here.
masking is the leader in the data masking world and as we understand the changing landscape there exist some very valid needs for an API which masks data, enumerated below:
Introducing Delphix Data masking APIs, some salient keypoints are
Delphix has made bleeding edge technology which it uses available for outside use, what are the benefits for a Masking API?
While it may be not easy to wrap around what immediate changes will occur when you use this, few cases where we can compare a traditional masking v/s API based masking
Phrasing a few real life scenarios where masking as a true service can be utilized
Users can develop and reuse masking components as needed; they can complete whole DevOps cycle with on-demand masked data starting with scanning and creating risk profiles automatically.
Users can MASK data the same way across you platforms while maintaining usability, they can share algorithms in-between teams; test and promote them to production.
Masking (or rather masking leaks) can now be EXTEND to event based /SIEM tools, users can create as verbose log as needed and INTEGRATE with external reporting and monitoring tools like splunk or sumo-logic.
Delphix makes the CI/CD/CS policy very easy to implement, Users can now integrate fresh virtualized masked data to their docker / Kubernetes containers now and experience the secure, seamless, fast integration. One additional benefit is now users can deploy and test masking HA/DR as per your own organization policy.
To access and learn Delphix Masking API it has been made very easy, every engine now comes with a ready reckoner of API call models including e.g. and inline testbed ( illustration below)
With masking now available as a true service its applications are endless.
