Case Study: Hot Telecommunications achieves data privacy and regulatory compliance with Informatica Dynamic Data Masking

Hot Telecommunication Relies on Informatica to Protect Data Privacy and Ensure Compliance with Privacy Laws

Hot, a leading Israeli telecommunications provider serving about 1.3 million households with multichannel TV, Internet and telephony services, faced a major data-security challenge: thousands of employees, contractors and outsourcers could access production environments containing sensitive customer, billing and credit-card data, creating constant risk of exposure and regulatory noncompliance.

Hot standardized on Informatica Dynamic Data Masking to apply real-time, authentication-based masking rules without changing application code or impacting performance. The solution protected production and test environments, provided audit trails, and reduced the time to create sanitized test data from up to a week to minutes—enabling faster development, stronger compliance and secure access to business-critical data on a need‑to‑know basis.
