Why testers love production data - and what to do about it
Information
In today’s AI-driven, regulation-heavy landscape, protecting sensitive data is no longer optional - it’s a strategic imperative. Yet, organizations struggle to balance data privacy with the need for high-utility test data. This talk explores how to drive productivity whilst taking advantage of masked data, empowering teams to accelerate delivery and innovate around the company’s richest resource –customer and business data.
Gary has spent the last 10 years working with enterprises who have grappled with the thorny issue of test data management and data masking. He’ll share a few insights on why masking can be hard and troublesome, why piecemeal masking and scripting is not really an option and will offer some technological and practical ideas on how to grasp the nettle of data masking, maintaining and improving data protections whilst improving delivery speed and perhaps even saving time and money in the process.
