Overview
Data tokenization, also known as Format-Preserving Encryption (FPE), replaces sensitive data sets like PANs, PHI, and PII with surrogate values called tokens. These tokens retain the same format as the original dataset but have no intrinsic value. This approach preserves data integrity and structure while anonymizing and safeguarding it against unauthorized access.
Fortanix Solution
Fortanix Data Security Manager delivers data security and privacy by means of vaultless, Format Preserving Encryption (FPE) that allows teams to strike a balance between safeguarding sensitive data, complying with regulations, and unlocking data’s potential. With Fortanix, data is tokenized early in the data lifecycle to shift data security left, minimize sensitive data footprint across hybrid, multicloud environments, and ensure data anonymity right from the moment of creation or ingestion.
Fortanix provides Data Tokenization-as-a-Service, with a cloud-scale architecture for better and faster performance and simplifies implementation and management.
Benefits
Enhanced security and controls
Fortanix delivers a powerful combination of FPE and RBAC to bolster sensitive data protection. The platform integrates natively with FIPS 140-2 Level 3 compliant HSMs to secure encryption keys for tokenized data, eliminating the need for a centralized token database.
Safe Data Sharing
With Fortanix data tokenization, organizations can securely share specific data sets with third parties for analytics or internal customer support staff, all the while keeping sensitive data deidentified, secure, and compliant.
Simplified Regulatory Compliance
Teams can leverage the Fortanix data tokenization solution to dynamically obfuscate sensitive information, for examples credit card or social security numbers, thus ensuring compliance with PCI-DSS, or electronically protected health information (ePHI) and non-public personal information (NPPI) to adhere to HIPAA regulations.
The Fortanix Difference
Vaultless
Data Tokenization
Fortanix vault-less data tokenization relies on advanced NIST approved cryptographic techniques to generate and manage tokens, eliminating the risk associated with centrally stored sensitive data. 
Advanced
Data Masking
A user can choose to dynamically mask an entire field of tokenized data or part of the field based on permissions and needs. 
Increased
Security
Data Tokenization keys are securely stored within the Fortanix FIPS 140-2 Level 3 HSMs, available on premises or as SaaS, with granular RBAC and quorum approvals. Resources
