MAGEN (Masking Gateway for Enterprises) is information security technology designed by IBM's Haifa Research Lab. MAGEN is designed to keep users from viewing discrete chunks of secret or sensitive data on their screens that they are not authorized to see.

MAGEN applies a sort of inverse highlighting on the data in question in real time as it is rendered on the screen. This allows "eyes only" business logic to be implemented once, at the screen, rather than within each affected application.

MAGEN leverages a combination of optical character recognition and screen scraping techniques.
