Plan, Process and Technology Issues Implementing Media630
The replacement of sensitive information with a randomly generated unique token or symbol is called Tokenization. One of the challenges faced with the implementation of this technology is that a universal standard (Single Standard) must be created so that all merchant can support the technology across multiple providers. In term of technical implementation, some of the front and backend systems will require retrofit to utilized tokenization technology.
The training of end user on the new token and management of these token by security team will require extensive training for effective implementation. The need may arise to hire and train a new security team. The benefit of an end to end encryption to protect data should also be considered based on the risk assessment. Another challenge is the implementation of separation of duties approaches to ensure proper data protection method, by controlling what type of access to sensitive data is permitted to …show more content…
The challenges in this technology are that many of the sensitive fields have a meaning attached to them thus it must be a unique algorithm. Also, another challenge includes maintaining the integrity of data across various relationships. Data can be from multiple sources and across databases, flat files.
In addition to the above challenges, data obfuscation implementation does not have any set of standard for its comparison. Data obfuscation is a form of data masking. Providing necessary training to corporate and end users who are responsible for utilizing the data obfuscation technology to achieve deeper business insights. It is important that time needs to be placed aside to ensure that proper training takes place for all users/organization utilizing
