Pseudonymization: Replacing Sensitive PII Values to Better Protect Your Data

What is pseudonymization? It’s one of many data protection methods that allow businesses to improve their sensitive data protection across systems by replacing values with pseudonyms. Learn more about this crucial data protection method and learn more about utilizing this method to boost your business’s cyber security posture.

Tokenization: Replacing Data Values One Token at a Time

What is tokenization? This method revolutionized the modern way we protect data. In today’s age, InfoSec teams can deploy keyless and reversible methods with tokens, which replace sensitive Personal Identifiable Information (PII) and store this information in both vaulted and vaultess token look-up tables. When the data is needed, it can be re-identified and accessed by the right parties, ensuring sensitive information remains protected. Watch above to learn more about this revolutionary data protection method.

Anonymization: Safeguarding Sensitive Information - Permanently

What is anonymization? InfoSec teams can utilize anonymization to irreversibly scramble sensitive data values, thereby protecting an individual’s private information. If the sensitive information can no longer be linked to an individual, businesses have a better chance of saving on audits, complying with regulatory requirements, and scaling their ability to compete – all leading to revenue increases for your bottom line.

Data De-Identification: The Foundation of Data Protection

De-identifying data is what every data protection method is designed to do, making it the basis of effective cybersecurity. Common data fields that are de-identified by businesses would include names, birth dates, addresses and zip codes, National ID, and Social Security Numbers. By obfuscating sensitive data values through reversible and irreversible methods, your customers and patients can rest easy knowing their data can only be viewed by authorized parties.

Cloud Storage vs. Hard Disk Drive (SSD): Which is Better for Data Security?

Technology trends may come and go, but cloud storage has become a mainstay for efficient data management. Instead of relying on physical drives such as local SSDs, the cloud allows users to store their data securely in remote data centers. On the other hand, traditional storage methods, such as hard disk drives (HDDs), have been storage mainstays for decades. Through magnetic spinning disk technology, HDDs have been reliable for long-term storage.
