Immuta is a data security platform that allows you to secure access to your data, automatically discover sensitive data and audit how data is being used in an organization. In the past, we've talked about the importance of automation, engineering practices and treating security policy as code when we think about security concerns. Data security is no different. Our teams have been exploring Immuta to manage data policies as code to allow for fine-grained access control which is beyond what role-based access control (RBAC) can offer. Version-controlled policies can be tested and then provisioned as part of a CI/CD pipeline. In a decentralized data ecosystem, like one facilitated by data mesh, having domain-specific roles can lead to role or group proliferation in the identity system. Immuta’s attribute-based access control (ABAC) capability reduces the access grant to a mathematical equation of matching an "attribute" on the user to a "tag" on the data source. This platform is still new but certainly worth highlighting for data security needs.
