Data Masking and Data Tokenization Hero Image

Keep sensitive data anonymous, portable, and compliant

Data masking and tokenization is a critical technology that enables organizations to reduce the impact of a cyber-attack, meet data privacy laws, and harness the value of their data. Yet, many Data, Security, and Application Teams still grapple with data security and privacy—sensitive data is everywhere, legacy solutions cannot scale and meet the performance and agility demands of modern distributed workloads, and adoption of siloed point solutions often infringes corporate security mandates or data privacy regulations.

Solution

The Fortanix Data Security Manager, a unified data security platform, powered by Confidential Computing, allows teams to keep sensitive PII and PHI data anonymous, portable and compliant. Fortanix delivers secure and scalable data tokenization solutions by means of vaultless, NIST-certified FF1 Format Preserving Encryption (FPE). Data sets are replaced with surrogate values called tokens, which retain the same format as the original data but have no intrinsic value. This data tokenization approach preserves the integrity and structure of data, yet it is deidentified and safeguarded from unauthorized access.
