<p><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;">Organizations can minimize the impact of large data volumes by upgrading the server and storage environments or deleting data from the system. However, wholesale deletion of data from production does not comply with legal and regulatory requirements for long term data retention.

<p><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;">Retailers are taking measures to improve security around consumer data, but more can be done. When retailer IT data centers make copies of their production database systems, the copies contain the same customer sensitive information as the production environment.  Audit controls and </span></span><a href="http://www.solix.com/retail.htm"><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="color:#0000ff;">retail data security</span></span></span></span></a><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;"> policies need to be extended to the non-production systems to ensure customer data is safe at all stages of the application development lifecycle.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;">Most companies make 6-8 full size clones for every production application, not only wasting storage and time in cloning but potentially exposing sensitive application data to the test environment. </span></span><a href="http://www.solix.com/secure_test_development.htm"><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="color:#0000ff;">Data masking</span></span></span></span></a><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;"> provides companies with a centralized solution to manage the test data management process for clone creation, productivity and data security.</span></span></p>
