Immuta Reviews, Features & Alternatives

Overview

What is Immuta?

Immuta is a data access authorization platform that applies one set of policies to every request for data, whether it comes from people or AI agents. Policies run natively inside cloud data platforms to allow, mask, filter, or deny access, with time-limited approvals for exceptions and a record of every decision. It also discovers and tags sensitive data. Data owners, security leaders, and compliance teams at banks, pharma companies, insurers, and government agencies use it.

Integrations

Immuta integrations

Immuta enforces access policies natively inside the data platforms where data already lives, including Snowflake, Databricks, Amazon Redshift, Google BigQuery, Azure Synapse, and Starburst. Rather than copying data, it pushes controls such as masking and row filtering into each platform, so users keep their existing query tools. Immuta also connects to identity providers such as Okta and Microsoft Entra ID to map users and groups to policies. Listed integrations include Alteryx Designer, Amazon RDS, MariaDB, MySQL, and SAP HANA Cloud. For AI workloads, Immuta governs requests from assistants and agents, issuing scoped, time-limited credentials so agents only reach the data their human sponsor is allowed to see.
