Capital One Launches Databolt to Tokenize Sensitive Data at Scale

Databolt offers enterprise-scale data security with best-in-class performance

Capital One Software, the enterprise B2B software business of Capital One, announced the launch of Capital One Databolt, a tokenization solution designed to help businesses address growing data security challenges. Databolt empowers companies to protect their most sensitive data at scale, without compromising speed or performance.

“In an era marked by increasing data breaches, complex data privacy requirements, and the adoption of generative AI, the need for robust data protection has never been greater,” said Ravi Raghu, President, Capital One Software. “Traditional data security methods often fall short with limited scalability and added complexity. Tokenization can be a game changer, providing next-level security as companies navigate a growing need to protect their data and prepare for an AI-first world.”

Databolt offers a powerful, patented tokenization solution that replaces sensitive data with secure tokens, reducing the risk that sensitive data is exposed if a breach occurs. And with Databolt, the underlying data format is preserved, allowing companies to seamlessly run applications, manage third-party data sharing and adopt generative AI safely.

Databolt is a vaultless solution, offering businesses:

• Lightning-fast performance with throughput up to 4 million tokens per second.
• An advanced security model, where sensitive data does not leave the business’ environment.
• Cloud-native architecture with a flexible deployment model that can fit a business’ unique infrastructure.

“At Capital One, we recognized the power of tokenization early on and built our own solution to meet the needs of a cloud-first enterprise at scale. Today, we run more than a hundred billion tokenization operations a month across hundreds of applications,” said Raghu. “We’re excited to bring Databolt to market to help other organizations maximize the value of their sensitive data.”

Databolt was not only easy to implement, its performance and scalability have exceeded expectations.”
