Paperclip Inc. announced that its SAFE® searchable encryption solution now provides data masking. SAFE is the only data security platform that ensures continuous encryption across every data state, including in search. Data masking, also referred to as de-identification or anonymization, is the process of modifying sensitive data in such a way that it is of no or little value to unauthorized intruders while still being usable by software or authorized personnel.

The addition of data masking to SAFE was driven by user feedback and changing compliance requirements. That?s where SAFE fills the searchable encryption gap, by encrypting data throughout its lifecycle while working at the speed of business to support business growth and operations.
