IBM ENLISTS DEVELOPERS TO HELP AUTOMATE PRIVACY MANAGEMENT

Segrate, 11 luglio 2003 - New tools are available at no charge on Ibm´s alphaWorks Web site to help independent software vendors (Isvs) and enterprises link new and existing applications with enterprise privacy management software, such as Ibm Tivoli Privacy Manager. This represents an important new capability that developers can use to build automated privacy protection into existing and new applications to help protect privacy. Automated privacy management helps companies enhance brand value and reduce the costs of managing privacy across the enterprise. By automating privacy enforcement and auditing tasks, companies can reduce costs and increase productivity. Using the two new tools -- the Reference Monitor for Tivoli Privacy Manager and Declarative Privacy Monitoring for Tivoli Privacy Manager -- developers can reduce the time and expertise needed to create new monitors for their applications. These monitors link new and existing applications to privacy management software, allowing developers to build privacy rules and audit reporting into the applications without having to hard-code privacy functions into each individual application. By making applications "privacy aware" automatically, updating privacy policies can become easier and more manageable. For example, a developer of Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2ee) financial applications can use Declarative Privacy Monitoring for Tivoli Privacy Manager to help protect sensitive, personal financial data contained in Web-based Java applications without requiring modifications to Java code. This technology allows J2ee Web applications to be deployed to work with Tivoli Privacy Manager without having to modify the application code. Ibm Tivoli Privacy Manager monitors applications or databases and authorizes access to personal information based on business purposes defined in an Xml-based privacy policy administered from a central server. When new or updated private data is submitted or updated, the monitors automatically collect consent information and create an audit trail of the access requests and directs Tivoli Privacy Manager to record information about the data submission. The application monitor collects: those data is being accessed; who is accessing the data (application and/or user); time that the access occurred; whether the access complied with the policy in effect. "Protecting privacy is an industry-wide concern, and Ibm is developing new technology to make it easier to build privacy enforcement into privacy-sensitive applications of any size," said Arvind Krishna, vice president of security products, Tivoli Software, Ibm. "Major software vendors, custom application vendors and enterprises must take an active role in automating privacy management to reduce privacy violations and reduce privacy enforcement costs." |
