The News General DM News IBM improves data protection and information management at firms with new products
11 February 2010
IBM has announced new data protection and information management software to improve data compliance at firms.
IBM has unveiled the IBM Optim Data Redaction offering and a technology preview programme for IBM InfoSphere Business Information Monitor.
InfoSphere Business Monitor tracks the quality and flow of an organisation's information and provides real-time alerts of potential flaws. For example, if a health insurance company was analysing profit margins across different product lines, decision makers would immediately be alerted when a data feed was not successfully integrated.
Optim Data Redaction protects an organisation's information by automatically recognizing and removing sensitive content from documents and forms. For example, a customer's credit scores in a loan document could be hidden from an office clerk, while still being visible to a loan officer.
Optim Data Redaction is expected to be available in March. A technology preview programme for InfoSphere Business Information Monitor is expected to open in March.
