IBM Netezza Data Governance

IBM Netezza Data Governance deploys DataSunrise to deliver seamless regulatory alignment with zero-touch implementation. Organizations managing sensitive data within IBM Netezza environments must ensure real-time auditing, dynamic masking, data discovery, robust security, and continuous compliance to mitigate risks and streamline regulatory adherence.

Real-Time Auditing for Continuous Monitoring

Real-time auditing in IBM Netezza databases ensures every activity is monitored instantly, detecting and responding to potential threats or compliance issues as they happen. IBM Netezza provides native tools such as Advanced Query History for detailed audit tracking, complemented by solutions like DataSunrise Database Activity Monitoring. This approach incorporates machine learning audit rules that adaptively identify anomalies, suspicious activities, or compliance violations, significantly reducing manual oversight and enhancing operational efficiency.

Example of Enabling Audit Logs:

CREATE HISTORY CONFIGURATION all_hist HISTTYPE QUERY DATABASE auditDB USER audituser PASSWORD 'password' COLLECT QUERY,COLUMN LOADINTERVAL 5 LOADMINTHRESHOLD 4 LOADMAXTHRESHOLD 20 STORAGELIMIT 40 LOADRETRY 0 VERSION 1;
SET HISTORY CONFIGURATION all_hist_on;

Dynamic Data Masking for Secure Access

Dynamic data masking (DDM) within IBM Netezza provides real-time obfuscation of sensitive information, such as credit cards, social security numbers, or healthcare data, utilizing encryption methods detailed here. DataSunrise further enhances this capability through its Dynamic Masking technology, applying masking policies automatically without altering the actual data.

Example Masking Configuration:

SELECT account_number, MASKED(account_number, 'XXXX-XXXX-####') FROM finance_accounts;

Automated Sensitive Data Discovery

Automated data discovery tools locate sensitive information within IBM Netezza databases effortlessly, with DataSunrise's Data Discovery automating the identification of PII, PHI, and financial data across complex environments. This ensures sensitive data classifications align seamlessly with regulatory frameworks like GDPR, HIPAA, and PCI DSS, simplifying compliance tasks and accelerating time-to-compliance.
