Is Cloud Tokenization an Attractive Alternative to Cloud Encryption?

As security threats grow in complexity, IT leaders need to consider encryption and tokenization technologies to prevent hackers from accessing or stealing highly sensitive data. While encryption has been around for a while, tokenization is one method that’s grown in popularity.

Cloud security is an evolving and fast-maturing concept. Every year or month there’s a new threat, provoking a response with improved or new defenses, even as existing products broaden their interoperability or load up with new features. At the base of all this is data traveling between services and a growing movement to tokenization over encryption to ensure data remains secure.
