Intel^® Expressway Tokenization Broker, Reduce PCI Scope

PCI DSS Compliance Background

In order to reduce ongoing Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) assessment costs, organizations are constantly seeking ways to reduce the scope of their PCI DSS assessments. However, they also need to ensure that the security technology solutions they choose adequately protect customers’ sensitive credit card information from ever-changing internal and external threats.

Intel Solution

Offered in conjunction with our industry-leading Intel^® Expressway Service Gateway, Intel^® Expressway Tokenization Broker lowers costs and dramatically simplifies PCI DSS compliance and administration for organizations across all industry types that accept, capture, store, transmit or process credit card or debit card data. Tokenization Broker replaces customers’ sensitive Primary Account Number (PAN) information with secure tokens.
