IBM Guardium Data Encryption vs. Oracle Data Masking and Subsetting vs. WinSQL vs. iSecurity Field Encryption Comparison Chart

The growing security threats and ever-expanding privacy regulations have made it necessary to limit exposure of sensitive data. Oracle Data Masking and Subsetting helps database customers improve security, accelerate compliance, and reduce IT costs by sanitizing copies of production data for testing, development, and other activities and by easily discarding unnecessary data. Oracle Data Masking and Subsetting enables entire copies or subsets of application data to be extracted from the database, obfuscated, and shared with partners inside and outside of the business. The integrity of the database is preserved assuring the continuity of the applications. Application Data Modeling automatically discovers columns from Oracle Database tables containing sensitive information based on built-in discovery patterns such as national identifiers, credit card numbers, and other personally identifiable information. It also automatically discovers parent-child relationships defined in the database.

iSecurity Field Encryption protects sensitive data using strong encryption, integrated key management and auditing. Encryption is vital for protecting confidential information and expediting compliance with PCI-DSS, GDPR, HIPAA, SOX, other government regulations and state privacy laws. Ransomware attacks any file it can access including connected devices, mapped network drivers, shared local networks, and cloud storage services that are mapped to the infected computer. Ransomware doesn’t discriminate. It encrypts every data file that it has access to, including the IFS files. Anti-Ransomware quickly detects high volume cyber threats deployed from an external source, isolates the threat, and prevents it from damaging valuable data that is stored on the IBM i while preserving performance.
