Introduction

Over the years, high-profile security breaches have spawned new and ever-expanding compliance regulations. These regulations are forcing companies to increase measures to protect sensitive data, especially personally identifiable information, to prevent it from being seen by unauthorized parties. This not only applies to the activity of hackers. It applies equally to internal staff, contractors, and business partners, all of whom should be able to view only the information they are required to access in order to do their jobs.

Three major solutions that are effective for keeping sensitive data out of the view of prying eyes are encryption, tokenization, and anonymization.  This guide will help you gain a high-level understanding of each, learn how the underlying technologies work, and recognize the situations in which companies typically use these solutions.
