The Customer
About The Customer
The customer is a leader in process and information technology outsourcing, with a customer base that spans a wide range of public and private organizations worldwide. With over $20 billion in annual revenue, the customer has built a strong reputation on innovative and quality professional services. The opportunity to provide data masking professional services to a major financial and banking institution emerged, and the services provider looked to Imperva for a solution to enhance their data security offering and credentials. They required an integrated data masking solution that could be easily integrated across multiple database types and applications.
The Challenge
The customer, a leading global IT services provider, was seeking to enhance its security credentials to win a lucrative contract with a major North American financial institution. The challenge was to restrict access to sensitive data and improve the protection of customer information. The customer also needed to comply with consultant security policies in training, development, and testing environments, and establish greater controls for alternative development opportunities like offshore initiatives. Furthermore, the financial institution required a solution that could achieve secure, realistic data reproduction and integrated masking across multiple database types and applications.
The Solution
The IT services provider evaluated several data masking vendors and chose Imperva Camouflage as the best option for their customer. The first step was an onsite demonstration by an Imperva representative, which received positive reviews from the service provider’s evaluation team. Imperva Camouflage was then deployed across all databases within the organization. A phased implementation approach was taken, with the solution applied to increasingly complex systems at the financial institution. The solution de-identified information in database copies, enforcing access restrictions to sensitive customer information.
Operational Impact
  • The deployment of Imperva Camouflage resulted in efficient handling and integration of complex sets of financial databases across millions of rows of data. Referential integrity was maintained across multiple database types, and data relationships remained consistent across platforms and over time. Realistic copies of the live database allowed training, development, testing, and off-shoring services to move forward for the end customer. The customer's strong reputation for data security was bolstered, and they were able to successfully bid and win a substantial professional services contract. The solution also prevented the end customer from a potentially harmful data security breach.
Quantitative Benefit
  • Imperva Camouflage was successfully deployed across a wide range of sensitive databases across the organization.
  • The customer won a lucrative contract with a major North American financial institution.
  • Imperva Camouflage was applied to increasingly complex systems at the financial institution.
