Protect Non-Production Data in PeopleSoft

Anonymizer

Malicious and inadvertent breaches occur in non-production systems as well as production

A Common IT Problem development and operations teams working in their own silos – contributes to one of the most persistent, unacknowledged data security problems in the ERP world.

Developers are focused on the application while operations keeps production systems running through their lifecycle even after the developers have moved on. The shared goal is constant, predictable, secure delivery of information to the business users.

DevOps is critical but it can fall short in protecting sensitive data, especially in non-production environments where less attention is paid to protection mechanisms while often retaining full copies of production data.

CY2, working in partnership with our GDPR driven customers in the UK and EU, has developed a lightweight application that automates in either manual or batch mode anonymization and deletion of personal data. Anonymizer drastically reduces the time consuming, repetitive and error prone processes and provides detailed activity reporting.

With Anonymizer, virtually any data can be Anonymized and certain constituent types can be excluded.

In this demo intensive session, we will show how Anonymizerworks in PeopleSoft and discuss how are clients are protecting their non-production ERP data.
