Peterborough, NH \u2013 October 1, 2014: ARCAD Software, leading vendor in software solutions for\u00a0Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) on IBM Power systems running IBM i, today announced a\u00a0new solution in their range addressing the anonymization of sensitive data. ARCAD-Anonymizer is\u00a0available as a standalone tool with the latest V10.03 ARCAD release, and principally targets the test\u00a0phase of the software development lifecycle.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur launch of ARCAD-Anonymizer answers a growing need in our customer base for confidentiality\u00a0of test data. Companies everywhere handle vast amounts of sensitive data as part of their business;\u00a0financial, personal, contact, and medical information. Data leaks have become more and more\u00a0common. With government-driven data privacy regulations like the U.S. Patriot Act, HIPAA and the\u00a0European Data Protection Directive, companies now run a heavy financial risk from fines and loss of\u00a0business following a data breach. We already know from Gartner that 80% of incidents come from\u00a0insiders – so the software test phase, and in particular the re-use of production data for testing is a\u00a0natural target\u201d, states Philippe Magne, CEO and Chairman of ARCAD Software.<\/p>\n

ARCAD-Anonymizer is an effective solution to the protection of privacy of test data, hiding the\u00a0personal dimension of data or information. It works by de-identifying sensitive data while preserving\u00a0its format and type. Its anonymization algorithms are irreversible, and data readability is preserved.\u00a0ARCAD-Anonymizer can therefore be used when preparing test data for use by testers and\u00a0developers.<\/p>\n

\u201cClearly the most effective way to ensure the accuracy of any test campaign is to reuse production\u00a0data. This ensures realistic conditions in which to test. Yet a simple replication of data exposes the\u00a0enterprise to the greatest risk of an insider data breach\u201d, adds Magne. \u201cARCAD-Anonymizer is a high\u00a0performance and multi-platform solution designed to protect sensitive test data while retaining its\u00a0usability\u201d.<\/p>\n

A variety of anonymization techniques are delivered with the solution, including an extensible library\u00a0of algorithms for scrambling and masking.<\/p>\n

ARCAD-Anonymizer is entirely platform and database independent. \u201cIn addition to a strong\u00a0emphasis on performance, we have designed a solution that is equally viable on any database as\u00a0well on classical physical files\u201d, states Magne. \u201cARCAD-Anonymizer consists of a multi-platform,\u00a0full Java server, and a Web or rich client for defining parameters, simulations, and statistics. It has a\u00a0command-line API and plugs easily into third-party products such as ETL and data replication tools\u201d.<\/p>\n

One of the unique strengths of ARCAD-Anonymizer is its ability to discover data to be anonymized.\u00a0For this it utilizes the data analysis technology that already powers the automation behind several of\u00a0the ARCAD solutions, including the test data extraction product, ARCAD-Extract. ARCAD-Anonymizer\u00a0can be used either standalone, or in conjunction with ARCAD-Extract for extracting test datasets\u00a0directly from production.<\/p>\n

ARCAD-Anonymizer complies with regulatory constraints for data transfer. \u201cBy adding ARCAD-Anonymizer into our product range, we are easing audit compliance for our customers, and reducing\u00a0the risk of fines and lost business due to a data leak\u201d, concludes Magne.<\/p>\n

The solution is a natural extension in ARCAD\u2019s strategic direction towards DevOps and an emphasis\u00a0on continuous integration and test, where testing is recognized as an increasingly frequent and\u00a0critical phase in the development lifecycle.<\/p>\n
