VOLTAGE SECURITY INC. EXPANDS SECUREDATA

By D.E.Levine

Voltage Security Inc., makers of Secure Data, Secure Mail and Secure File products has added tokenization and data masking capabilities to its SecureData product.

Tokenization replaces PANS or primary account numbers and other sensitive data with a "token." While both the PANS and tokens are stored in an encrypted database, the organization uses the token instead of the PAN to process and record transactions within its systems.

If hackers do manage to gain access to the systems, the meaningless tokens they receive prevent them from gaining access to customer information.

By combining Secure Data with Secure Mail and Secure File, end-users can create an end-to-end data protection platform with a single developer interface, stateless key management and a common policy framework.
