  • Patent number: 9418237
    Abstract: A system, computer-readable medium, and method for masking data including receiving a request directed to a network service, applying a rule set to the request to identify sensitive data which is responsive to the request, rewriting the request, based on the rule set, such that the rewritten request will result in the sensitive data being retrieved and converted into a masked format according to one or more instructions in the rewritten request, and transmitting the rewritten request to the network service.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9336256
    Abstract: An apparatus, computer-readable medium, and computer-implemented method for data tokenization are disclosed. The method includes receiving, at a database network router, a database access request directed to a tokenized database, the tokenized database containing one or more tokenized data values, applying one or more rules to the request, rewriting the request based on at least one of the one or more rules, such that data values being added to the database will be tokenized data values, and data values received from the database will be non-tokenized data values, and transmitting the rewritten request to the database.

  • Patent number: 8826370
    Abstract: A system and computer-implemented method for providing security rules to an existing enterprise database system. The disclosed system and computer-implemented method intercepts database connection requests provided by third-party applications and end-users and determines what, if any, security rules to be applied to the request, including masking, scrambling and unmasking the data, as well as whether the requesting user has a need to know the requested data. Accordingly, personally identifiable and other sensitive information is not provided to an unauthorized requesting application and/or end-user.

  • Patent number: 7676516
    Abstract: A database network router (DNR) in a database network includes a client access module and a database resource manager that communicate with each other using a common software interface. The client access module communicates with clients including application servers and external database servers; and the database resource manager communicates with the database servers. The DNR also includes a protocol manager for handling multiple database protocols. The database network router also includes local data cache storage to store commonly used data objects, results of parsed query statement, non-optimized query statements, and optimized alternatives and assigns a priority to each client on log-in. The DNR provides a method for connections pooling, a method for balancing the load in a database networks and a method for synchronizing the data stored in cache memory with the database network and method for synchronizing the data stored in cache memory with the database to insure data reliability.
