Tokenization minimizes data exposure risk
Tokenization replaces sensitive data, like personally identifiable information (PII), with anonymized tokens that provide no value to bad actors. Tokens cannot be reverse-engineered to reveal the original data, creating a robust protective barrier against breaches and reducing regulatory risk.
Key for zero trust, cloud & on-premise security
Tokenization helps ensure that minimal raw data is stored in cloud and on-premise architectures and enforces stricter access controls; this complements zero trust strategies that require continuous authentication and authorization.
Protection without sacrificing scalability
Capital One Databolt uses secure cryptographic algorithms instead of storing tokens and sensitive data in a central database. This approach offers low-latency, scalable and faster operations, allowing applications and workflows to continue functioning without costly architectural changes.
