In a technology-driven world, data breaches are not only common, they can also be costly. Privacy violation statistics indicate that the number of incidences and costs associated with data breaches are increasing steadily, proving that organizations across industries need to take a more pragmatic approach for protecting information, especially in highly vulnerable non-production (development, testing and training) environments. Data in non-production can be more susceptible to a breach when it is used in development and testing activities, accessed by mobile employees or outsourced.

In the midst of unprecedented security breaches, the best way to ensure that confidential information remains protected is to develop and implement a comprehensive privacy and security strategy. Once organizations realize that protecting privacy is no longer optional, most ask, "Where do we start?", "What are the requirements?" and "What steps should our organization take to implement an enterprise data privacy and security strategy?"

This white paper explains the steps you need to consider when developing your privacy strategy and implementing your first data privacy project. Using proven data masking techniques, such as those provided in the IBM Optim Data Privacy Solution, can help your organization implement best practices in privacy protection and make your privacy project successful from start to finish.

Lastly, learn how a large retail company implemented Optim to develop a best practice strategy and a successful privacy project, overcoming many of the challenges that occur when implementing a privacy project on an enterprise scale.
