IRI FieldShield was first released in 2011 as a data masking solution for structured data that would “shield” sensitive data at the field level (hence the name). Historically, one of its biggest use cases has been anonymising data sets for use in test environments (which is to say, test data management), and this continues today. Moreover, FieldShield is built on the SortCL engine that also drives several other IRI products, such as CoSort. This provides FieldShield with various advanced functionality, including input phase filtering and complex field logic that can combine data masking with data cleansing, joining, reformatting, transforming, and more. As you might expect, FieldShield offers data discovery capabilities in addition to data masking, which can be used for a variety of purposes, not the least of which is to identify sensitive data to mask.

The latest FieldShield version, version 6, was announced in December 2024 and includes several new or updated features.
