Enterprise data security and developers needing to find and mask PII in semi- and unstructured data sources
About IRI DarkShield
IRI DarkShield is a powerful data masking tool that can (simultaneously) find and anonymize Personally Identifiable Information (PII) "hidden" in semi-structured and unstructured files and database columns / collections.
DarkShield jobs are configured, logged, and run from IRI Workbench or a restful RPC (web services) API to encrypt, redact, blur, etc., the PII it finds in:
* NoSQL & RDBs
* PDFs
* Parquet
* JSON, XML & CSV
* Excel & Word
* BMP, DICOM, GIF, JPG & TIFF
DarkShield is one of 3 data masking products in the IRI Data Protector Suite, and comes with IRI Voracity data management platform subscriptions. DarkShield bridges the gap between structured and unstructured data masking, allowing users to secure data in a consistent manner across disparate silos and formats by using the same masking functions as FieldShield and CellShield EE. DarkShield also handles data in RDBs and flat-files, too, but there are more capabilities that FieldShield offers for those sources.

IRI FieldShield
IRI FieldShield® is powerful and affordable data discovery and masking software for PII in structured and semi-structured sources, big and small. Use FieldShield utilities in Eclipse to profile, search and mask data at rest (static data masking), and the FieldShield SDK to mask (or unmask) data in motion (dynamic data masking).
Classify PII centrally, find it globally, and mask it consistently. Preserve realism and referential integrity via encryption, pseudonymization, redaction, and other rules for production and test environments.
Delete, deliver, or anonymize data subject to DPA, FERPA, GDPR, GLBA, HIPAA, PCI, POPI, SOX, etc. Verify compliance via human- and machine-readable search reports, job audit logs, and re-identification risk scores.
Optionally mask data as you map it. Apply FieldShield functions in IRI Voracity ETL, federation, migration, replication, subsetting, or analytic jobs. Or, run FieldShield from Actifio, Commvault or Windocks to mask DB clones.
