Lisbon Unstructured Data Masking (UDM) is the only solution on the market that can intelligently obfuscate unstructured data, effectively protecting organizations should a breach occur.
Unstructured data includes many sources of business information including MS Office Documents, social media data, PDF files, scanned images (insurance and healthcare claims, W2 tax documents, etc.) web logs, BLOBs/CLOBs, emails, and more.
Obfuscation and Data Masking is an effective way to maintain compliance, pass audits, lessen the risks and protect sensitive data across the network. Effectively remediating the risks of sensitive data breaches.
Intelligent redaction or dynamic data masking of unstructured data allows selective and temporary redaction of production or test data, desensitizing documents depending on users access level.
Data archiving or decommissioning is an effective information lifecycle management strategy to ensure optimized information governance. The unstructured data growth and storage model is over 8x that of structured.
File reduction reduces the footprint of documents by more than 80%, freeing up network bandwidth, minimizing storage costs and improving significantly application performance.
Data masking replaces the original values of sensitive data with fictitious yet contextually accurate data, maintaining the referential integrity and preserving the usability of the protected data so that you can carry on worry-free with critical operations such as testing, development, and analytics.
Our data masking solutions ensure the protection of both structured and unstructured data. With as much as 80% of enterprise data now being unstructured data (expected to rise to 93% by 2020 according to IDC), it can be the #1 target for insider and outsiders to access personally identifiable data (PII), protected health information (PHI), or Intellectual property (IP).
Lisbontech UDM is the only comprehensive solution on the market that provides remediation of sensitive data holistically. UDM selectively finds and obfuscates sensitive records stored in PDFs, Excel, Word, Images, Hadoop database and 70 other unstructured file formats. UDM can run separately or in combination with market leader for database privacy solutions such as IBM® Optim™, StoredIQ™ or Informatica’s Data Privacy to ensure complete security.
LisbonTech's Dynamic Unstructured Data Masking replaces the real values of a document with similar values ensuring that the documents are safe and protected while keeping the same look and feel. The data can be “Redacted on the Fly” by displaying information based on the user’s permissions and obfuscating or changing sensitive data that may be outside of their authorization.
Our intelligent redaction can mask at the glass for your unstructured data in production and test, saving storage costs, keeping original repository and redact as needed.
Enterprise information archiving is driven by the rising volume of historical preservation of data. Our UDA solution addresses the need to support the decommissioning of unstructured data, particularly for large scale file environments with corresponding content to structured business systems and parallel events, such as the adoption and migration to SaaS.
Lisbontech's Unstructured Data Archiving module (UDA) Helps you archive unstructured content and apply ILM retention policies. These files typically include MS Office Documents, PDF’s, flat files, images, email files and more. Ensuring a lower cost storage while enabling access to the archived data and restore back to production if needed. Along with our File Reduction solution, UDA can minimize your archived footprint to reach optimized application performance.
LisbonTech's File Reduction module (FR) reduces the footprint of the unstructured files across your enterprise while sustaining their quality. By implementing FRM, you can save on storage costs, improve performance, and free up space from your network bandwidth. Unlike compression and de-duplication where the files must be reconstituted, FRM address the problem directly on the file negating the need to have software to un-compress.
the only solution in the market that provides a full remediation of both structured and unstructured data.
Identify, mask, archive and compress all sensitive data from unstructured data files across your enterprise.

Tomorrow, just as millions of others around the country will do, we’ll gather to celebrate one of our favorite holidays, Thanksgiving.
But even though the holiday is celebrated across the country, and has been for over a century, very few people are aware of how Thanksgiving actually came to be a national holiday.Though we most often associate Thanksgiving with Pilgrims and New England Indians, Thanksgiving, at least as a semi-official national event, began 150 years ago, at the height of the horrific and divisive Civil War.
Lincoln felt that divine mercies deserved public acknowledgment and thus invited all Americans to observe the last Thursday of November as a day of “thanksgiving and prayer to our beneficent Father, who dwelleth in the heavens,” thereby declaring our first National Day of Thanksgiving.
Of course, Lincoln didn’t dream up “Thanksgiving” from out of the blue as there were historical precedents, most significantly the “original” Thanksgiving feast between the Plymouth colonists and the Wampanoag Indians in 1621. Early Americans also celebrated a form of thanksgiving not as a fixed annual event, but as a series of unplanned holidays called in response to specific events, usually religious in nature, intended to invoke God’s help to cope with hardships, or to offer God thanks for positive developments.
This custom continued and by the 1840s and 1850s Thanksgiving was celebrated each November by a majority of states and many localities across the country, but the practice was inconsistently observed — a befuddling mess of local celebrations rather than a national holiday.
Sarah Josepha Hale, a New Hampshire-born writer and editor, was determined to change that. Hale had long recognized the nationalistic promise of Thanksgiving and, beginning in earnest in the 1840s, she campaigned doggedly to nationalize the holiday, publishing editorials in her journal, “Godey’s Lady’s Book,” and sending countless letters to political and cultural leaders.
Few American leaders have ever grasped as well as Lincoln the capacity of symbols and ideas to bring a nation together and he shared Hale’s vision of the promise of a national holiday like Thanksgiving. Thus, it is not surprising that the same president who spoke so eloquently of “the mystic chords of memory” — the same president who delivered the Gettysburg Address shortly before Thanksgiving Day, 1863 — was the one responsible for instituting the new national holiday.
However, November 26, 1863, was not the only wartime Thanksgiving held on Union soil as Lincoln designated a total of four Thanksgiving days, not all of them in November. For example, a Union Thanksgiving was held on August 6, 1863, to celebrate Gettysburg and Vicksburg.
Nor did observances of days of gratefulness stop at the Mason-Dixon Line. Confederate States’ President Jefferson Davis proclaimed two Thanksgivings himself — one after each Battle of Manassas.
Even after 1863, Thanksgiving was not yet exclusively tied to the last Thursday in November and remained somewhat in limbo as no one yet knew whether it would become a lasting national tradition. Lincoln received several letters and telegrams in April of 1865, during the last week of his life, urging him to name a day of “national thanksgiving” to commemorate the Union victory, but Lincoln took no action and had no idea that all future presidents would follow his lead. Nor could he have known that Thanksgiving would become fixed permanently as a single specific date in the nation’s calendar – the fourth Thursday in November, as designated by Franklin Roosevelt’s signature in 1941 – rather than as an irregular called response to specific events.
Thanksgiving exemplifies what the historians refer to as “the invention of tradition.” From its roots in harvest celebrations and New England’s religious observances, it rose to prominence amid the incredible suffering of the Civil War, when Americans needed more than ever to publicly reaffirm their collective relationship with God.
Like all invented traditions, Thanksgiving has continued to adapt to changing circumstances. Unplanned and semi-spontaneous celebrations turned into the fixed, nationwide event required by a modern nation-state, and the focus on the church has given way to a focus on the home. The focus on football has also become a vital element to the modern Thanksgiving celebration while the turkey consolidated its place at the center of the Thanksgiving table — thanks to the highly effective marketing efforts of the modern poultry industry.
Yep, Thanksgiving has evolved gradually and unevenly, indeed. It is a tradition invented by many hands. And it’s clear to see that the big-money boys are moving in. Fast.
Thanksgiving, you see, is also followed by the biggest in-store shopping day of the year: Black Friday. In recent years, however, Black Friday has been boldly stomping right up into Thanksgiving’s back yard and picking a fight, with some stores now actually opening on Thanksgiving afternoon/evening.
And I’m sorry, but that’s just not right. Thanksgiving is the single American holiday that is still relatively pure, which has no overt religious connotation other than encouraging a personal sense of pious thankfulness and appreciation, and it should remain free of the reach of the mercantilian greed-heads. But believe me, it is squarely in their cross-hairs, a literal sitting duck with a big ol’ dollar sign on its side. And those guys don’t miss.
But that’s all big-picture stuff that’s out of our hands, and Thanksgiving is more about the little things, the important things that really matter, And those don’t come with price tags; they come with heart tugs.
We all have so much to be grateful for: our health, our families, being spared from recent storms, food on the table, dry, clean clothes on our back, a warm bed, a roof over our heads…just more than we can think of. If we took the time to think of it.
So, take that time to think of it. And appreciate it. All of it. Then close your eyes and thank the One from whom it came.
May God bless each of you have with a safe and happy Thanksgiving.

Those three little words can change your life, but when a narcissist says “I love you,” those words take on an entirely different meaning than what you’d expect.
The following is a letter to the unfortunate souls who have fallen in love with someone who can never really love them back, written from the perspective of the narcissist.
I normally wouldn’t say this, or ever acknowledge it, because then the manipulative game I have lured you into would be over. I wouldn’t have anyone to hand off my responsibilities to- and you’re so good at carrying my share of the relationship, as well as yours.
When I say “I love you,” what I really mean is I love the things you do for me.
I love how you want to believe I love you so badly, that you are willing to deny the truth, even when it is right in your face.
I love that regardless of the fact I continually make you feel small and insignificant, you still give me the power to take advantage of your kindness by exploiting your good intentions. It always makes me feel better to make you feel worse.
I love how easy it is to make you doubt yourself and question your own sanity. You never know what’s real, or what’s right, unless I tell you- complete control at it’s finest.
I love how your expectations of me gradually decline, while the ones I have for you are constantly rising. Of course, if they’re not met, the look of failure and disappointment that washes over your face always makes me smile.
I love how the entire focus of your life is me. Fixing my problems, solving my issues, relieving my pain- it’s all about me, and never you. I love that you never take time for yourself or acknowledge your own issues in life that require attention.
“I love you” has nothing to do with you, and everything to do with how I feel when you are around me. To be clear, my happiness is your responsibility.
When I say I love you, I really am referring to the love of hatred for you (and me). It sounds confusing, I know. Even though I hate myself and experience self-loathing on a daily basis, I can love myself vicariously through the love that you feel towards me. I hate having to rely on you for this, so I will make you suffer emotionally to pay for it.
I love how I can dangle the carrot of affection in front of you, and you will do anything to taste it- even briefly. I know you want me to give you some sign that I really do care about you, and I know you want me to show some support, but why would I ever do that? It’s the act of tempting you with those things you will never get that keeps you with me.
I love how you won’t leave me because you are just as hooked on this toxic relationship as I am.
I love how I can instantly turn myself in to the victim when you try to bring up one of my many personality flaws, or harmful behaviours. I’m sure you remember more than one instance when you tried to point out something I did that hurt you, and I made you feel horrible for even mentioning it.
I love how I make you think you need me, and make you feel like I am doing you a favour by being in a relationship with you. I have broken you down enough to the point that you don’t think you’re worth more than I say you are.
I love how you think you are with someone who loves you. A normal person, with a healthy emotional grasp of things, isn’t capable of simply turning love off and on. But I’m the kind of person who shows love and affection as a manipulation tool and uses it it to get what I want.
In summary, I want you to know that when I say “I love you,” it isn’t what you want it to be, and it isn’t what love truly represents for the rest of the world. But as you are well aware, I don’t live in the real world- I define my own rules and expect you to live by them too.
Please know that you won’t ever be able to change me, and if you try, you will fail. I have been this way with everyone in my life ever since I was denied genuine love and support as a child. I’ll take it out on you with hurtful words and manipulative tactics under the guise of love, but we both know it’s not real.
Or, at least, we should both know now.
Do you know someone who needs to read this letter? Please share and comment.

i love how you think you are with someone who loves you. a normal person, with a healthy emotional grasp of things, isn’t capable of simply turning love off and on. but i’m the kind of person who shows love and affection as a manipulation tool and uses it it to get what i want.
in summary, i want you to know that when i say “i love you,” it isn’t what you want it to be, and it isn’t what love truly represents for the rest of the world. but as you are well aware, i don’t live in the real world- i define my own rules and expect you to live by them too.
please know that you won’t ever be able to change me, and if you try, you will fail. i have been this way with everyone in my life ever since i was denied genuine love and support as a child. i’ll take it out on you with hurtful words and manipulative tactics under the guise of love, but we both know it’s not real.
or, at least, we should both know now.
do you know someone who needs to read this letter? please share and comment.

Fluor is an element abundant in nature. In the right quantities, it is essential for the development of teeth and bones. However, under specific conditions, the concentration of fluoride (F) in ground and surface water can exceed safety levels and becomes toxic for human health. This may lead to skeletal and/or dental fluorosis, two chronic biogeochemical diseases that occur in various countries around the world.
According to UNESCO, more than 200 million people worldwide rely on drinking water with fluoride levels exceeding the present World Health Organization (WHO) norm of 1.5 mg/l. The Ethiopian Central Rift Valley (ECRV) is one of the most affected areas with an estimated 8 million people potentially at risk of fluorosis. Due to its geology and climate, it suffers from some of world’s highest concentrations of fluoride, mainly in deep wells in the semi-arid parts.
