Each section highlights effective techniques such as real-time audits, dynamic data masking, sensitive data discovery, and adaptive security policies to ensure seamless compliance.

Gain valuable insights into best practices through exploring resources on Data Compliance and Regulatory Compliance.

IBM Netezza Native Compliance Features

IBM Netezza provides inherent functionalities such as real-time auditing and dynamic masking, establishing a critical foundation for robust compliance management.

Real-Time Auditing Configuration

Real-time audit capabilities continuously track and log database operations, leveraging IBM Netezza’s Advanced Query History feature to facilitate immediate compliance reviews.

To establish an audit-specific user, apply the following commands:

CREATE USER audituser WITH PASSWORD 'password';
GRANT CREATE DATABASE TO audituser;

Subsequently, set up the auditing database:

nzhistcreatedb -d auditDB -t query -v 1 -u audituser -o audituser -p password

Configure detailed audit parameters with:

CREATE HISTORY CONFIGURATION all_hist HISTTYPE QUERY DATABASE auditDB USER audituser PASSWORD 'password' COLLECT QUERY,COLUMN LOADINTERVAL 5 LOADMINTHRESHOLD 4 LOADMAXTHRESHOLD 20 STORAGELIMIT 40 LOADRETRY 0 VERSION 1;
SET HISTORY CONFIGURATION all_hist_on;

Apply changes by restarting IBM Netezza:

su - nz
nzstop
nzstart

Confirm audit setup with:

SELECT SESSIONID, DBNAME, TABLENAME FROM AUDITDB.AUDITUSER."$hist_table_access_1";

Detailed insights can be gained through resources like Audit Trails and Database Activity History.

Dynamic Data Masking Implementation

IBM Netezza implements dynamic masking through encryption-based techniques, ensuring sensitive data protection without modifying the original data.

Use the following example for dynamic masking configuration:

CREATE VIEW nz_masked_vw AS
SELECT
usr_id,
usr_login,
usr_email,
'****' || SUBSTR(usr_phone, LENGTH(usr_phone)-3, 4) AS usr_phone_masked,
SUBSTR(usr_card, 1, 4) || '-****-****-' || SUBSTR(usr_card, LENGTH(usr_card)-3, 4) AS usr_card_masked
FROM nz_sensitive_data;

SELECT * FROM nz_masked_vw;
