Ability to optimize resource utilization by speeding up database scans

Gardaí have increased the rate of data masking by an order of magnitude. The company announced this on October 23, 2024.

With the updated version of Garda Masking, customers get an order of magnitude higher data speed, which will allow them not to choose between meeting the requirements of the regulator and loading the infrastructure. You can now simultaneously optimize business processes and free up resources for other tasks while maintaining the required level of data security. The updated system, when fulfilling the requirements of the regulator for data depersonalization within the framework of secure development processes, minimizes the risks of errors: eliminates the human factor and increases the productivity of workflows.

The updated version of Garda Masking allows you to optimize resource use by speeding up database scanning, which, according to a study by the Garda and K2 Cybersecurity group of companies, is one of the most important criteria for choosing masking systems. Tests have shown that in the case of Postgres, the rate of data masking increases 20 times.

Another change to the current version is the intelligent unmasking function. It can be useful when the masked data is processed by contractors, and after processing, you need to match the results with the original information.

The unmasking option is in demand among customers - masked data can be transferred to contractors to investigate fraud or, as is often the case in retail, to conduct lotteries. And finding out after processing the data of the offender or winner is an important part of the process. When adding this function, we set ourselves the task of implementing it so that undeclared capabilities do not appear in the product, "said Dmitry Larin, head of the product department of database protection systems. - In the updated version of the system, unmasking works only for those databases and those records that the user determines. If the option is not selected, by default the system will run without the ability to recover data from the masked copy.

The product was enriched with other functions. Now in databases you can search for personal data using dictionaries and regular expressions, the ability to mask individual cells is implemented, the convenience of working with tables and database schemas is increased, which reduces the likelihood of errors and speeds up settings.

Garda Masking reduces financial, reputational and production risks, allows you to fulfill the requirements of regulators and implement the process of secure development. The product integrates with SIEM, which allows you to combine information about masking hundreds of databases (project name, scan time, database parameters, etc.) into a single system. Scan, resource usage, and possible errors are reported centrally via syslog.

Arenadata DB Integration Plan

Gardaí The "" Group of Companies and Arenadata are deepening their technological partnership to provide customers with secure storage, processing and analysis solutions. dataGardaí This was announced by the Group of Companies "" on March 26, 2024.

Garda Masking 1.6 supports 1C databases

The group of companies Gardaí"" has updated the depersonalization system. data The developer announced this on January 29, 2024. Now "Garda Camouflage 1.6" supports work with - databases 1C users 1C ERP will be able to transfer confidential to data third parties in compliance with all legislative norms. The updated version of the product allows you to optimally use system resources, reduce risks data breaches and control their safety, and, most importantly, meet current regulatory requirements.

The update of the Garda Masking system primarily affected users of the 1C platform. Now they can depersonalize personal data, commercial and any other information when transferred to technical support or for other purposes - in accordance with the requirements of regulators. This modification of data without changing its types and structure allows, on the one hand, not to slow down the processes of development, testing and maintenance of applications, and on the other hand, to avoid the risks of leakage of sensitive information and meet the requirements of secure development.

This release has enhanced the project settings to optimize the use of system resources.

Garda Masking 1.6 has also become more flexible and transparent in setting up access rights, which helps reduce the risks of unauthorized access to data or information leaks.

The system has increased the number of supported formats and masking settings that allow you to ensure data privacy. Added OKPO and CPP generators. Also, now you can use the FTS directory to generate a TIN.

Among other useful changes, version 1.6 of Garda Masking was able to set a backup schedule and create backups one-time, "added Dmitry Larin, head of the Garda Technologies product department (part of the Garda group of companies).

Confirmation of compliance with level 4 of trust in FSTEC

The Federal Service for Technical and Export Control of the Russian Federation has confirmed that the Garda Masking software complex manufactured by the Garda group of companies meets confidence level 4. The product can be used to protect the information resources of enterprises that do not work with state secrets, representatives of the Garda Group of Companies said on December 4, 2023.

The main purpose of data masking is to prevent information leaks when it is transmitted. The Garda Masking system is a software package for creating masked copies of databases without changing the integrity of the database. The system scans and classifies data in a protected database to depersonalize personal data and delete confidential information with complete preservation of the structure of the original data array. Garda Masking protects information when it is transmitted to developers, testers, analysts and others for whom access to database content is optional.

"Data depersonalization systems are necessary for companies working on an ongoing basis with large arrays of various information, including personal data. These are banks, telecom operators, retail, and representatives of other industries, "said Dmitry Filippov, head of the Garda Technologies Information Security Competence Center (part of the Garda group of companies).

"Garda Masking showed excellent results in detecting personal data in the infrastructures of our customers, and also demonstrated the necessary speed of depersonalization of large amounts of information," said Dmitry Larin, director of product development at Garda Technologies.

Compatibility with Alt 8 SP OS

Compatibility of software "Garda Masking" with "Red OS," "Garda DB," DBMS "Red Database"

Domestic The developer RED SOFT of Russian producer "" and systems information security "" Garda Technology announced the completion of product compatibility tests. Their results confirmed the correctness of the work software Gardaí of "Masking" with and "." operating system RED OS Garda DB This was DBMS Ed. Database reported on January 26, 2023 in the company "Garda." Technologies

Strengthening the digital sovereignty of Russia requires the accelerated development of domestic solutions and, subsequently, the operational and full-fledged replacement of the products of vendors who left the country. Along with the need for import substitution in a short time, large commercial organizations and state corporations often need to configure software products for their own purposes. At the same time, the implemented solutions must be safe and compatible with other Russian products.

Current global trends not only stimulate the development of the Russian IT industry and, in particular, the areas of information security, but also push manufacturers to cooperate, which in the future can give business a synergistic effect. Reasonable cost, local support, security - a common response with RED SOFTWARE to customer needs. Enterprise data protection is the first step on this path, some basis for the development of cyber resilience of Russian companies, commented Dmitry Larin, Director of Product Development at Garda Technologies.

The software package tested from Garda Technology is designed to solve information security problems. This is the result of targeted work that the company has been carrying out with Russian developers for many years. The expansion of ecosystems of domestic products is an important step towards strengthening the country's technological sovereignty, added Rustam Rustamov, Deputy General Director of RED SOFT.
