Capital One Software, the enterprise B2B software arm of Capital One, has officially launched Capital One Databolt, a cutting-edge tokenization solution engineered to help organizations secure sensitive data at scale without compromising on performance or speed.

“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 of 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 leverages a patented, high-performance tokenization technology that replaces sensitive data with secure tokens, dramatically reducing the risk of data exposure during a breach. It maintains the original data format, enabling seamless use in applications, safe third-party data sharing, and responsible adoption of generative AI technologies.

Key features of Databolt include:

  • Vaultless architecture enabling ultra-fast performance with throughput up to 4 million tokens per second
  • An advanced security model ensuring sensitive data never leaves the organization's environment
  • Cloud-native design with flexible deployment to support a variety of infrastructure needs

“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,” Raghu added. “Today, we run more than a hundred billion tokenization operations a month across hundreds of applications. We’re excited to bring Databolt to market to help other organizations maximize the value of their sensitive data.”

Early Warning Services, a technology leader in financial services, has been among the first adopters of Databolt.

“Protecting data has always been a top priority for Early Warning, but the complexity of doing so continues to grow,” said Walter Hurst, Head of Technology, Identity and Payments Risk and Data Platform. “With the stakes higher than ever, tokenization is a critical next step in further enhancing our defenses. Capital One has been on the leading edge of their tech journey and its experience is exactly what we value in a partner. Databolt was not only easy to implement, its performance and scalability have exceeded expectations.”
