How can we democratize data while keeping it secure? Traditional data protection methods like encryption and firewalls are insufficient against modern threats, especially with the rise of quantum computing and generative AI. With the evolving cyber threats, advanced data protection strategies are not only necessary, they are essential for data security and compliance across multiple fields using sensitive information.
To find a balance of security and data utility, Matt Fleck, CEO, and Neil Heller, COO, created Anonomatic, a data privacy company delivering unprecedented insights into data analytics, artificial intelligence and machine learning. No longer will data science efforts be restricted by the personally identifiable information (PII) within the data. Anonomatics’s PII Vault data privacy solution safely unlocks and transforms any organizations identified data into the ultimate machine for data-driven decisions.
PII Vault
How does PII Vault work? The first step in securing PII is to separate it from non-PII or fact data. Separating PII data into a completely different environment reduces your risk immediately.
Then privacy compliance is accomplished through a process called Poly-Anonymization™. Poly-Anonymization involves taking any personal identifying pieces of information (name, gender, address, social security number, etc.) and swapping it out for our Poly-Anonymous Identifier (Poly-Id). This value is unique, inconsistent, unpredictable, has multiple potential values and is not hashed. After data has been Poly-Anonymized, organizations can share the resulting data either internally or externally without the usual risk that would be associated with such activity.
Disparate Data Matching
Robust insights are more attainable when processing data from multiple or disparate sources. PII Vault matches poly-anonymized data for disparate data matching, allowing you to combine any number of poly-anonymized data sets, at the individual level — without ever receiving any PII.
Poly-Pseudonyms
The PII Vault can also mask all private data in any number of databases with your favorite automation software, an easy-to-use management application, or implemented via their web services in your ETL (extract, transform, load). You control whether the values are consistent or change for every run and every database. This lets you safely use production data in non-production environments.
PII Redaction
Unstructured data is everywhere these days and the risks when it contains PII are immeasurable. The PII Vault can redact unstructured data, providing greater PII data security.
API and Docker Container
Data separation, remote anonymization, data matching and masking are all managed through the PII Vault API, making it extensible and easy to use. Even better, the PII Vault is delivered via a simple Docker Container. This means you can put the PII Vault anywhere, including public or private cloud or on-prem data center. It’s completely up to you.
