An enterprise class data scrambling tool created for Oracle Human Resources and Payroll Applications, Silhouette™, is now available for Oracle Payables and Oracle Receivables. Sensitive financial information, such as bank account numbers and credit card data, are now protected by Silhouette™, from unauthorized access in all non-production databases. Internal audits have discovered that once the production data is cloned to create new environments it leaves the company at risk of a security breach. Many corporations' Governance Risk and Compliance programs mandate protection of this confidential data as it helps to adhere to GLBA, PCI, and other data privacy regulations.
Silhouette™ utilizes a unique method to protect sensitive data. Silhouette™ Using Oracle's metadata and built-in functions, conceals the Payables and Receivables private data. Silhouette™ identifies 50-plus sensitive fields recommended for scrambling in the AP and AR modules. These fields are designated as defaults in the application allowing out of the box scrambling execution. Silhouette™, in addition, is configurable and allows the user to tailor the scramble to the needs of their company without coding.
Silhouette™ can ensure, most importantly, that referential integrity of the data is maintained throughout the application after the scrambling process, and lastly, in order to supply information for future decision making, a summary is provided containing statistics and error reports so users can double check the process.
Formed in July 2005, Minneapolis, MN, Guardian Applications, created Silhouette™ in response to not only the increased occurrence of internal security breaches, but also due to the recent notification legislation in over 39 states. Guardian Application has taken on this security initiative to protect customer, employee and vendor confidential data in the Oracle E-Business Suite from internal data loss, because Privacy Matters™.
