Continue reading to find out more about what you can do to safeguard your company’s critical information.

What do you need to know about fraudulent activity?

Before we go any further, it’s helpful to define what fraud is. After all, the better you understand fraud, the better your business and customers will be protected. Fraud is defined as when a person or group knowingly and illegally uses false or misleading information to steal another person or organization of anything of value. Money, property, sensitive data, or rights can all be involved. Small and large businesses, schools, and government agencies are all targets for scammers. To conduct fraud, these criminals use a variety of methods, including phone calls, emails, letters, ads, and the internet. The fraudster is frequently someone who is familiar to the targeted company or individual.

A comprehensive security solution

Tokenization is one of several security techniques to consider. This is an effective strategy for reducing the risk of sensitive data being compromised in enterprises, as well as ensuring that they satisfy industry compliance standards and continue to reach their objectives. Tokenization is the process of converting sensitive data into Non sensitive tokens that can be used in a database or internal system without bringing it into scope. Tokenized data, unlike encrypted data that can be decrypted, cannot be reverse engineered. Because a token is made up of randomly generated numbers, it does not reveal any important information. Hackers will not have access to sensitive data if a company suffers a data breach. Instead of critical data like PCI or PII, these cyber criminals will only see useless tokens.

Purpose of Tokenization

Tokenization is used to safeguard sensitive data while still allowing it to be used for commercial purposes. This differs from encryption, which involves modifying and storing sensitive data in ways that prevent it from being used for business objectives.

Encrypted numbers can also be decrypted with the appropriate key. Tokens, on the other hand, cannot be reversed because the token and its original number have no mathematical relationship.’
