FREMONT, CA and MCLEAN, VA--(Marketwire - April 7, 2010) - dataguise™ (http://www.dataguise.com), a leading innovator of security solutions for protecting sensitive data across the enterprise, today announced its strategic partnership with immixGroup, Inc., a public sector business leader offering technology sales, channel development, government contract management, and IT services, to provide governmental organizations with its dgdiscover™ and dgmasker™ database security technology. The agreement supports continuing efforts by dataguise to increase its visibility in the public sector by offering the industry's first integrated solution for comprehensive sensitive data discovery and masking to government customers under the immixGroup GSA IT Schedule 70 contract and others.
The partnership augments dataguise's current strategy highlighting the critical importance for organizations in the government sector to deploy technology that enables the secure discovery of sensitive data residing in structured, semi-structured and unstructured data repositories and then masks or de-identifies that data in order to prevent a serious data breach. In addition, dataguise recently announced its appointment of federal government industry veteran Jim Flyzik to its advisory board, further solidifying its plan on increasing growth in the public sector.
"We are very excited about this partnership with dataguise to support their strategy to increase visibility and growth in the government sector," said David Stewart, vice president, Technology Sales Division at immixGroup, Inc. "The combination of immixGroup's extensive public sector technology sales experience and dataguise's best-in-breed database security solutions provide government organizations with the resources needed to mitigate risk, decrease the risk of a data breach, and improve their overall security posture."
dataguise offers the first integrated product offering of its kind to combine both discovery of databases containing sensitive data, identification of the data at risk in the database and Masking In Place (MIP) of the information for seamless security. dgdiscover quickly determines where sensitive information resides throughout the enterprise and dgmasker, with its Masking On-Demand™ capability, then de-identifies information targeted for use outside of the production network, providing organizations with the technology needed to reduce their risk profile.
"With data breaches increasing in frequency, it is imperative that organizations -- particularly those in the government sector -- are arming themselves with robust database security, including solutions by dataguise," said Allan Thompson, EVP of Operations for dataguise. "We are committed to providing customers in the public sector with the highest level of data security technology currently available and are looking forward to building on this partnership with immixGroup to expand our reach across key government organizations."
