IBM Touts Business Privacy Software

Not exactly legal news, but IBM is pushing new privacy-oriented software. This is a positive development, though I have no idea if it works. This is also an indicator of how much salience the privacy issue currently has.

The software is called "DB2 Anonymous Resolution" and is advertised with the line:

"Share data while protecting the privacy of customers, employees, partners and citizens when you know "Who is Who & Who Knows Who... Anonymously?"


According to IBM:

"DB2 Anonymous Resolution software enables multiple organizations to compare proprietary data in a manner that never exposes sensitive data values, while still identifying relationships and developing leads. DB2 Anonymous Resolution enables an organization to compare customer lists with partners, to cross-reference identity records with watch lists, and to determine the amount of customer overlap in a merger and acquisition process - and to do so anonymously.

This allows organizations to share only the data that is pertinent to the specific application. With DB2 Anonymous Resolution, organizations can "take the gloves off" these processes and apply such applications with a level of security and privacy that has never before been available."

They also say that DB2 Anonymous Resolution will:

* Enable the exchange and correlation of information where it has not been possible in the past.
* Enhance protections against unintended information disclosure.
* Enable multi-party, multi-system discovery without information disclosure.
* Protect anonymity of sensitive data.
* Prevent data re-purposing.
* Permit data to remain in the control of the data owner.
* Protect the privacy of customers and employees.
* Reduce exposure to privacy violations, both regulatory and corporate-based.
* Uncover the true customer value and/or risk of a merger or acquisition.
* Achieve a balance between homeland security missions and privacy interests.
* Enable safe & selective data sharing.

Hello there! Quick question that's totally off topic. Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly? My site looks weird when viewing from my iphone. I'm trying to find a template or plugin that might be able to correct this issue.
If you have any suggestions, please share. With thanks!
