Eloquence Data Protection

 
.
  The Eloquence dabase supports different options to protect database content. Database encryption protects data on disk and Item Level Security allows selective access to data depending on application or user authorization.
Database encryption
Sensitive information may be encrypted in the database. This helps protecting database volume files, forward logs, as well as dbstore output files or backups against unauthorized access to sensitive data. Encryption keys may be updated periodically with no downtime.

Item Level Security
Sensitive information may be masked or blanked upon retrieval, depending on the user authorization. This allows to enhance the security of existing applications with no or minimal code changes.
If you are working to meet the PCI DSS requirements or exploring how to improve protection of sensitive information with a minimum of changes to your application and procedures, you are likely interested in this new functionality.

The item security enhancements are included in the Eloquence base version, the data encryption feature is available as an optional add-on component.


Item Level Security

The item level security functionality allows restricting access on selected items at the database and/or dataset level, depending on the access privileges of a database account. This allows to enhance the security of existing applications with no or minimal code changes.

A typical use would be to limit access on items with sensitive information, such as credit card numbers, social security numbers or salary figures to those database users that are member of a dedicated security group, whereas all other users only get to see empty or masked values when reading the respective item contents.

Enhanced item level security is part of the base product.


Database encryption

The Eloquence database encryption feature allows to designate fields with sensitive contents for encrypted storage. It helps protecting database volume files, forward logs, as well as dbstore output files against unauthorized access to sensitive data.

Data encryption is an optional add-on requiring an extra license key.
