Description: Token mapping is the process of linking tokens to their original sensitive data securely. This method is used to protect critical information, such as credit card numbers, personal data, or medical information, by replacing this sensitive data with a token that has no value outside a specific system. Tokenization allows organizations to handle and process data without exposing sensitive information, thereby reducing the risk of data breaches and complying with privacy regulations. Tokens are generated in such a way that they cannot be easily reverted to their original form without proper access to the tokenization key, adding an extra layer of security. This approach is particularly relevant in a world where cyber threats are becoming increasingly sophisticated and regulations on data protection are stricter. Implementing token mapping not only helps organizations protect their customers’ information but also allows them to maintain consumer trust and comply with regulations such as GDPR or PCI DSS.
