eXate Documentation

Apply policy-driven controls to protect sensitive data wherever it lives, moves, or is exposed, going beyond masking to full data protection: encryption, tokenisation, and fragmentation, across APIs, databases, and bulk pipelines.

Configure eXate

1

Deploy a product

Before you can create Policies, deploy the eXate product that matches where your data lives: APIgator, Datagator, GatorSet, or GatorAId.

 2

Classify your data

Tag sensitive fields as Attributes and group related ones together, so Policies can target a whole category of data at once.

 3

Build your Policies

Define who can see what, where, and why, then let eXate enforce it consistently everywhere that data appears.

Products

  • APIgator: Protects data in transit through APIs and gateways. Deploys as a sidecar alongside your existing gateway (Apigee, Envoy, IBM API Connect, NGINX) and applies your Policies and PETs to sensitive fields before they leave your environment, with no changes needed to the underlying API contract.
  • Datagator: Protects data queried live from a database. Sits between the requesting application and the database at the JDBC or wire protocol layer, applying your Manifest, Policies, and PETs to query results before they're returned.
  • GatorSet: Protects and migrates data in bulk between systems, such as ETL and batch pipelines. Applies masking, tokenisation, encryption, or combinations of these techniques at scale, including protection of primary and foreign keys while preserving referential integrity. Also copies DDL to maintain the target schema during migration.
  • GatorAId: eXate's classification engine. Automatically classifies your source data and generates the corresponding Manifest, removing the manual work of mapping fields to Attributes by hand.
  • Platform: The core object model, PET library, and metering that every eXate product is built on. Start here to understand how Manifests, Attributes, Policies, Filters, and PETs fit together.
