Loss of sensitive data can lead to costly regulatory penalties affecting your company’s bottom line and reputation. Data Tokenization can avoid regulatory penalties and protect sensitive data by replacing personally identifiable information (PII) such as credit card account numbers with non-sensitive and random strings of characters, known as a ‘Token’, that preserves the format for the data and the ability to extract the real information. With Fortanix, you can substitute tokens for sensitive data using REST APIs to achieve privacy compliance. This helps eliminate the link to sensitive data and avoid exposing sensitive information if a data breaches occurs.
