Assure Data Privacy
Protect sensitive and highly regulated data from unauthorized access using advanced, state-of-the-art encryption, tokenization and masking technologies.
Encryption defends data at-rest using NIST-certified AES encryption for IBM i. It fully supports FIPS 140-2 compliant key managers as well as many leading OASIS KMIP-compliant key managers.
Assure Encryption also offers built-in masking and data access auditing, using rules-based definitions to automatically control which users can view unencrypted data, which can only view masked data (first 6, last 4, etc.), and which users are not allowed to view the information at all. Its extensive tokenization capabilities help maintain strict data privacy by temporarily or permanently replacing sensitive data with token values.
Secure File Transfer shields data moving across networks from view and automates transfers. Files are encrypted for transfer using globally recognized standard protocols including Secure Shell (SSH SFTP) and Secure FTP (SSL FTPS). Optional PGP encryption further protects data both at the source and destination.
“Assure Monitoring and Reporting now saves us countless hours when we get audit requests that require going back to database journals. I use its query function to show me specific data from selected windows of time and within 30 minutes I have a nicely formatted PDF report delivered to the department head.”
