Informatica has released Cloud Data Access Management (CDAM), a solution based on the company’s 2023 acquisition of Privitar, a provider of data access management products. The AI-powered solution is integrated with Informatica’s Intelligent Data Management Cloud (IDMC) and uses the platform’s common metadata foundation to support data access governance.
At the heart of CDAM is Informatica’s CLAIRE AI engine, which ensures automated sensitive data classifications at enterprise scale, and provides data teams with universal, automated controls to govern data access, ensuring data is not only secure and private but also readily available.
Informatica notes key benefits of CDAM as accelerated access to trusted data for analytics and AI, reduced cost of compliance and risk of data misuse, simplified controls on data across complex, hybrid data operations, and automated self-service access to data from hundreds of data sources.
Describing CDAM as an ‘holistic data access and governance solution on IDMC’, Jitesh Ghai, chief product officer at Informatica, says: “The solution combines data access control with classification, discovery and cataloging tools, using metadata to automate processes. This makes operations in data-driven organisations more efficient and easier to scale, simplifying and speeding up tasks.”
The key features of CDAM include intuitive policy authoring to simplify enterprise-wide data access management, the use of CLAIRE AI to automate sensitive data classifications to identify personal records, personal identifiable information, financial records and more across large datasets, integration with Cloud Data Integration and Cloud Data Marketplace for automated contextual controls on data use and sharing, and streamlined policy enforcement and auditing across diverse environments to enhance security, privacy and data management.
