[shukla7789]

Learn how to choose TDM tools and how to apply TDM (Test Data Management) in practice in a testing and development environment.
TDM (Test Data Management) is a term used to refer to all the techniques, methods and tools used to ensure a secure supply of data for testing and development processes. The importance of ensuring these conditions in the information that will be used for this type of process is crucial for the business, since the viability of the development project and the profitability of the investment destined for this purpose depend on it . However, it is not so easy to achieve since it is necessary to know dentist database to choose the type of methods to apply, based on the data needs of the developers, in order to know how to combine security with utility.

How to apply TDM in practice in a test and development environment
The ultimate goal of TDM is to prevent unauthorized users from gaining access to confidential information. TDM can be implemented in three complementary directions:


Data masking automation .
Creating data subsets.
Development of test data generation capabilities.

However, today, advances in technology allow organizations to incorporate much more sophisticated techniques and apply real-time data de-identification and de-sensitization methods to test data management .

These methods of masking to limit access to sensitive data are highly effective as they are based on flexible data masking rules that are established based on a user's authentication level. Their work is represented in the following actions, which ensure compliance with internal security policies, while aligning the organization with applicable legislation, by addressing:

Block unauthorized access attempts.

Audit authorized access and contact with data carried out in a given period by users, external teams or technical personnel from the IT environment.

Alert your users to a potential risk in relation to the handling of their sensitive information.

Choosing a TDM tool
Of course, to benefit from this level of protection , it is important to make the right technological choice . When choosing the software that will allow you to apply a more sophisticated form of data masking, such as dynamic data masking , you need to make sure that the tool you choose also allows you to:

Reduce the risk of data leaks and minimize the chances of suffering a security breach.
Easily customize your masking solution to meet different regulatory or business requirements.
