## Databunker intro
20+
21+
### 💣 The Big Problem with Traditional Database Encryption
22+
Traditional database encryption solutions often provide a false sense of security. While they may encrypt data at rest, they leave critical vulnerabilities:
23+
24+
* **Encryption alone isn’t enough:** Most vendors offer only basic database or disk encryption, leaving data vulnerable
25+
* **Vulnerable GraphQL Queries:** Unfiltered queries can expose unencrypted data to attackers
26+
* **SQL Injection Risks:** Attackers can retrieve plaintext data through SQL injections
27+
28+
Databunker addresses these gaps with a secure, developer-focused solution for personal data tokenization and storage.
29+
30+
### 🛠️ DataBunker Features
31+
32+
- **Tokenization Engine**: Generates UUID tokens for safe data referencing in applications
33+
- **Encrypted Storage**: Secures sensitive data with a robust architecture, surpassing traditional solutions
34+
- **Injection Protection**: Blocks SQL and GraphQL injection attacks by design
35+
- **Secure Indexing**: Uses hash-based indexing for search queries
36+
- **No Plaintext Storage**: Ensures all data is encrypted at rest
37+
- **Restricted Bulk Retrieval**: Disabled by default to prevent data leaks
38+
- **API-Based Access**: Integrates with your backend via a NoSQL-like API
39+
- **Fast Integration**: Set up secure data protection in under 10 minutes
