Optimized data retention
Redundant, obsolete, and trivial (ROT) data increases storage costs, expands your attack surface, and makes compliance difficult. DSM enables data minimization with automated discovery and policy-driven masking. Preserve only what’s necessary and protect what’s sensitive. Reduce exposure without compromising operational needs.

Secure, compliant data usage
Masking keeps sensitive data protected while maintaining its usability. DSM de-identifies copies of production data, so developers only work with secure, compliant datasets. It also ensures compliance by obfuscating data before it’s fed into AI models.
