This document discusses understanding data flow and using tokenization to secure data. It provides an overview of vaultless tokenization compared to vault-based tokenization. Vaultless tokenization provides a smaller, static footprint without the need for replication or key management of a centralized vault. It allows for easy geographic distribution without collisions and provides the fastest industry tokenization with unlimited capability and little impact on performance. Case studies show vaultless tokenization helped large organizations reduce PCI compliance costs, improve performance, lower maintenance costs, enhance security, and simplify security assessments.
