With great data power comes great data responsibility. Controlling who can access what data for analytical use can be a huge challenge for data teams, especially as they move to cloud data platforms. Immuta and Okta have partnered to solve this problem.
Immuta’s data access governance powered by Okta’s identity and authorization
Go beyond role-based access with attribute-based data access and control
Know who accessed what data, when and, for what purpose
Immuta has integrated its Automated Data Governance platform with Okta’s Identity Cloud and System for Cross-domain Identity Management (SCIM), an open standard that enables automated user provisioning to multiple cloud services. Immuta integrates with Identity Cloud and SCIM to extend identity management and authorization to data and analytics platforms, including Immuta’s expanding network of leading cloud data platforms, such as Snowflake, Databricks, and Starburst.
Legacy, role-based access control approaches are not sufficient or scalable within cloud or hybrid analytics environments. This means DataOps teams must copy data and maintain complex libraries of user roles to ensure strong security and compliance. Immuta with Okta solves this problem by extending role-based access with dynamic, attribute-based data security policies. Joint customers can build intelligent data policies that dynamically adapt data views — at the row-, column-, or cell-level — based not just on role, but on the data itself, user attributes or the purpose of analysis or modeling.
Immuta’s rich audit logs and reporting — combined with Okta’s identity and authorization — give organizations total transparency into who accesses what data, when, and for what purposes. DataOps teams can easily create analytics and data science reporting to share with compliance teams and prove adherence with internal data usage rules, privacy regulations, third-party contractual requirements, and more.
“The combination of Okta and Immuta allows us to confidently authenticate a diverse set of users and authorize different levels of analyses, while preserving privacy and ensuring compliance with regulations and contractual data rights.”
