Database anonymization

Anonymizing your databases has never been easier with a platform like Nymiz, which allows you to complete the process in just a few clicks—quickly and efficiently.

You can work with different types of servers such as PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server, Oracle, and DB2. Simply provide the server name or IP address, the port, and the corresponding access credentials.

Once this is set up, you only need to specify the name of the database where the table(s) to be anonymized are located. Then, you can choose the procedure (Anonymization or Pseudonymization), the substitution method (Masking or Tokenization), and the configuration, to obtain the desired results as many times as needed.

To help you better understand the step-by-step process, below you’ll find a short video tutorial showing how to anonymize databases.

It is important to note that the access credentials entered to start the anonymization process must have at least SELECT and UPDATE privileges on the database and tables you wish to anonymize.

IMPORTANT: When choosing between anonymization and pseudonymization, you must understand that anonymization is an irreversible process. Once data is anonymized, it cannot be recovered.
