Capital One Databolt is an enterprise software platform designed to protect sensitive data through vaultless tokenization. It replaces sensitive values with format‑preserving tokens using deterministic algorithms, allowing data to remain usable for analytics, applications, and machine learning without exposing original values. Databolt operates entirely within a customer’s own environment and is built for high‑throughput, low‑latency workloads across cloud and hybrid infrastructures.
