The 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.

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.
