What if you could mimic your entire production database to create a realistic dataset with zero sensitive data? Tonic.ai does exactly that. With Tonic, you can generate fake data that looks, acts, and behaves like production because it’s made from production. How does Tonic do it? Connect to any database, anywhere, and have Tonic automatically de-identify and mask your data to create the perfect test dataset. Sleep better at night knowing that if your test data is compromised, your sensitive data can’t be reverse-engineered. And everyone has the data they need to focus on what they do best: building features without the security risk. Visit softwareengineeringdaily.com/tonic to sign up for a free trial.
