Protegrity has invented a new tokenization technology that simplifies and dramatically lowers the cost of deploying this mode of data protection. Tokens are cost effective because they don't require security controls for protection – they're not sensitive data, they only represent that data. Yet tokens are transparent to most applications and business processes.
This paper describes Protegrity Tokenization, compares it with traditional tokenization solutions, and illustrates how Protegrity Tokenization addresses their shortcomings. The paper also provides a use case illustrating use of tokenization for simplifying PCI compliance.
