Hi guys,
Just a reminder the free webinar is happening next Tuesday 27th November. Anything you can do to help share this would be great!
Data Masking: Insights & Actions
In this 30-minute webinar, Microsoft Data Platform MVP Kendra Little will explore key challenges and recommendations to prevent exposure of private data in your next data breach, featuring insight from Gartner's 2018 Market Guide for Data Masking.
To avoid confusion, the webinar content has evolved slightly from my previous message to you, but it's happening same time and date, and Kendra will still be looking at insights from Gartner's market guide for data masking alongside general challenges and actions around data masking strategy.

A bit more info about next week's webinar (an alternate format of this is here), and why the topic is important...
There has never been a better time to start a project to champion data privacy
In a recent Harris poll sponsored by the payment company Stripe, over 1,000 C-level executives were asked to rate which factors they feel are most threatening to their business.
The #1 item that executives rated as “somewhat” or “very” threatening to the success of their business is security / data breaches. The #2 rated threat to these businesses? Increased regulation.
Data masking mitigates these top threats
One of my very first jobs when I began in IT was to build out environments for developer and test teams at a software development company. At first, we didn’t mask any of this data. After problems arose, we began masking only a single field. That was a huge mistake.
In this upcoming free webcast, I’ll share the following in just 30 minutes:
- Why data professionals have a history of neglecting privacy (just like I did in that first job)
- The three industry drivers for data masking
- Why regulations have become a top risk to C-level executives
- Key elements of static data masking tools to consider when evaluating products
- Pains that people run into when implementing data masking (and how Redgate tools address those pains)
- An overview of the data masking process
- Next steps to take in making a case for a data masking project at your organization
Now is the time to become a privacy champion
Whether or not you are an IT leader, a developer, or a DBA, right now you have a huge opportunity to make a difference for your organization, your customers, and your own career by championing privacy.
Yep, your own career! Those top two C-level concerns mentioned at the beginning of this post means that initiating projects like data masking and seeing them through from proof-of-concept to implementation is a big resume-building career move. That’s true whether you choose a Redgate solution, or use the information in this webinar to go a different route.
Join me in this upcoming webinar to learn the initial steps that you can make to instigate changes in your company — and to help mitigate the top risks that are keeping C-level executives up at night.

Hi everyone,
Firstly, hello! For those of you I’ve worked with before, I’m back from almost a year off for maternity leave. I’ve had the best time but equally I’m very happy to be back at Redgate 😊
If we’ve not met before, hi, I’m Carly. I’m a product marketing manager here at Redgate and have been with Redgate for almost 7 years, currently looking after SQL Provision.
Second, you may have seen Roseanna’s recent post about upcoming events and one may have caught your eye: “Insights from Gartner's 2018 Market Guide for Data Masking”. That’s right – Redgate has been recognised as a Representative Vendor in Gartner’s report! If you’d like a copy of the market guide, it’s a very useful and informative read covering Gartner’s key findings, market analysis and recommendations for data masking strategies. Download your complimentary report (usually worth $1300) from Redgate here. Our very own Kendra Little is running this webinar on November 27 and we’d love it if you’d join us. Get registered, and if you could also share this with your networks that would be fantastic. Here’s a tweet you can RT, but also be sure to tell colleagues and friends who’d find it valuable.
Many thanks and have a great week,
Carly
