Securing PII Data

$35B+ Financial Institution Transformed Their Cloud Data Security Strategy

Background
With total consolidated assets of over $35 billion USD, this commercial banking organization feeds large volumes of data in compressed parquet format via a third-party tool into its AWS S3 buckets.

Challenges
Their security team came to PKWARE with a need to identify sensitive information in the specific parquet file formats, remediate any false-positives, and mask actual sensitive data in a way that preserved the format of the original data. Also required was a fully automated flow for the workflow that could be applied to any new data feeds coming in from the AWS S3 bucket.
