Overview: Privacera Access Management and Governance

Introduction:

1. Balancing data accessibility and data security can be difficult with many organizations implementing overly restrictive data access policies due to complexities in managing complex data ecosystems combined with a myriad of data security and compliance rules. The results can be devastating to the business, creating cumbersome and slow processes to get data and in many cases required data just isn’t available having negative impacts on data driven initiative and the top and bottom line. This approach also can create a false sense of security, since data is “locked down”, but in reality the data may not be as secure as you believe, since sensitive data is typically bucketed into secure silos with highly restrictive coarse-grained access which can result in security gaps with an all or nothing type approach.
2. A Unified Data Security Platform delivers a more scalable, fine-grained, and secure approach which unlocks data, so that authorized users can quickly and easily access data without compromising security.
3. Key Benefits:
4. Single Platform with Fine-Grained Protection & Access Control
5. Automation Increases Accessibility
6. Protect and Use
7. Improved Data Stewardship Model
8. Single Platform with Fine-Grained Protection & Access Control
9. Eliminate data security and access governance silos and coarse-grained, all or nothing approach to data access, which results in an overly restrictive approach to data access. Some customers have reported that prior to using Privacera, only a small fraction, sometimes as low as 15%, of their data was accessible to to overly restrictive data access policies. Our unified platform allows organizations to go from sensitive data discovery to data protection and access controls with global access control policies that are built once and deployed across your entire data estate. Leveraging fine-grained data security and access controls also allows specific sensitive data to be protected, while allowing the non sensitive data to be easily accessed, resulting in data accessibility and security.

2. In the tutorial, Adam demonstrates how to set up an SSN access policy using existing tags, which can be linked to specific data columns in various databases. The video focuses on granting permissions to individual users and groups, such as allowing user Amy and the sales group access to sensitive Social Security number data across different technologies like Snowflake and Databricks. 
3. He explains the nuances of creating ‘allow’ conditions and the potential for implementing ‘deny’ conditions to refine access control further. This episode is essential for those looking to understand and apply tag-based access management within their data governance frameworks.
