CoSort (IRI, Inc.)

Data represents risk. What are you doing to protect the private information in your files? Are your security practices cumbersome or heavy-handed? Are you laboriously trying to strip out sensitive data or cutting off access to your files, databases or disks just to protect fields like social security number? How separate, costly, or time-consuming are these tasks? With CoSort, security can be built into data transformation and reporting:

CoSort is the only commercial-grade solution on Unix, Linux and Windows for field-level encryption (and other security functions like anonymization, de-identification, and pseudonymization) within flat files. Read more about our integrated, targeted, and auditable security functions for data at rest, and in motion, here:

• Privacy Protection
• Field Protection
• CoSort SortCL

In addition to field-level privacy protections, CoSort tools produce safe test data in real production formats. Read more about simultaneous or standalone file synthesis:

• Safe Test Data
• Test Data / Files
• CoSort Test Data (RowGen)

Either way -- through protection of real data or generation of realistic data -- CoSort can render files safe for compliance and outsourcing. And by integrating these features into its powerful SortCL tool for high-volume data transformation and reporting, CoSort can help make cumbersome, risky processes become faster, easier, and safer.

CoSort's other security offering -- for system access -- is similarly intelligent. Rather than shutting off systems and users, the Logon Security tool monitors, controls, and audits user logins, allowing management to assert granular account control. See:
