Why AgeTak

Tendency of overreacting to compliance and data security needs compromises data availability, adversely impacts the agility of the enterprise, increases the complexity of IT infrastructure and therefore escalates IT costs. Most of the symptomatic solutions provided fragmented coarse-grained security at the cost of availability and merely focus on huge audit reports and fail to serve the purpose of BI and B2B applications. Enterprise agility depends upon how smoothly you can have your BI and B2B applications access your data from diverse and multiple data sources and share with your employees, customers, vendors and partners. Enforcing the access control policies and creating the audit logs for each combination of data stores and end users from independent users’ stores was now an additional burden on such applications.

ARC (Access Right Control) technology from AgeTak offer an innovative solution dramatically simplifying the process of defining and enforcing enterprise wide data security policies while maintaining data availability for all applications and providing evidence of policy enforcement for legal compliance. When used with Virtual Data Source it provides single point real-time access to Federated data sources through virtual schema while taking care of enforcing local and global access control policies as well as fine granularity audit logs.
Virtual access to federated databases

ARC Virtual Data Source (VDS) provides a single point of access to federation of multiple diverse and geographically dispersed databases. ARC VDS acts as one big database server to any client application that sees a virtual schema and can fire SQL query to obtain a combined result. During federated execution of SQL query ARC VDS ensure enforcement of local as well as global security policy and produces a fine grain audit trail.
Hippocratic  data security

Hippocratic Database (HDB) technology considers privacy as the central tenet of database and effectively protects the privacy of data it manages. HDB is application and database agnostic technology that allows current business operations to proceed with no changes to existing systems, while ensuring that disclosure concerns (i.e. privacy policy, security policy, legislation, etc.) are not an issue. The technology is applicable to any industry that has enhanced security requirements and specifically significant for industries with disclosure management concerns (e.g. Healthcare, Finance, Government, etc.).

This is a sleek mechanism of enforcing policies transparent to both the data providers and the data consumer applications. Policies can be easily defined , enforced and managed without any change in your applications, your databases or your business processes.
