Immuta, a data security leader, today announced the release of Immuta Discover, a new product for automated tagging and classification on cloud data platforms. Immuta Discover enables data teams to establish and maintain highly accurate metadata for the primary purpose of data access control, monitoring and regulatory compliance.
Immuta Discover automatically and continuously discovers structured data in cloud data platforms. It can also leverage existing metadata pulled from enterprise data catalogs like Alation. Leveraging all of this metadata, Immuta Discover provides visibility of all sensitive data, which is critical for building data policies to protect the data and analyzing its usage. As a core pillar of Immuta's comprehensive Data Security Platform, Immuta Discover eliminates manual, error-prone processes and helps organizations improve data security, gain full visibility into their data and unlock its value.
Discovering, tagging and classifying sensitive data with highly accurate and descriptive metadata is a critical component of a successful data security strategy. However, today's organizations are burdened with increasingly dispersed data as the number of data sources and users continues to grow. Existing solutions are not designed to tag and classify data across all of these sources with the accuracy and granularity required for security and governance. The lack of accurate metadata creates security gaps and blind spots, making it difficult to meet stringent compliance regulations.
Immuta Discover allows data teams to easily and accurately scan, classify and tag data so they can apply data control policies and monitor data access. This allows teams to gain full visibility and context into all of their data assets, and better protect and monitor their sensitive data for enhanced data security posture management. Immuta offers 60+ pre-built and domain-specific classifiers, providing organizations with the flexibility to tailor data classifications to their unique business needs and based on their desired confidence levels.
Immuta Discover is the foundational component to making any data security program work within your organization and to remain compliant, said Mo Plassnig, Chief Product Officer at Immuta. It's the first step that must happen in order to protect your data. Data is constantly changing in today's digital age. Organizations must fully understand what data they have – with accurate classification – and maintain a trustworthy inventory of sensitive data across cloud platforms in order to meet growing data security and access demands. And Immuta Discover helps our customers accomplish just this.
With Immuta Discover, customers can automatically identify and classify sensitive data by leveraging the following new capabilities:
Accurate and actionable metadata for data security – Immuta Discover provides accurate, granular metadata and actionable tags on sensitive data so users can seamlessly secure data across cloud platforms at scale. The product enables full metadata visibility into what data requires access controls and auditing. The metadata can be leveraged directly in Immuta Secure to govern the data and in Immuta Detect to monitor data access.
Agentless, multi-cloud data discovery – Immuta Discover scans and classifies data natively, with no software to install and no agent running next to the cloud data platform. The data never leaves the data platform. This approach simplifies operations and is secure and compliant, enabling data teams to be more efficient with an always up-to-date data inventory.
Out-of-the-box and customizable regulatory frameworks – Immuta Discover automatically categorizes data that is subject to leading regulatory frameworks such as CCPA, GDPR, HIPAA, or PCI, to implement compliant access control policies. These frameworks are created and maintained by Immuta's in-house Legal Engineering Team, and additionally enable customers to customize frameworks based on their interpretations of specific regulations for accelerated compliance.
"I am thrilled to see the addition and announcement of Immuta Discover to Immuta's Data Security Platform," said Sanjeev Mohan, former Gartner analyst and founder of SanjMo. "Efficiently tagging and classifying data is a critical first step in protecting it against the growing number of threats in today's data management landscape. Being able to scan data natively in the cloud data platform is an innovation that enables data discovery at scale."
Immuta offers a comprehensive Data Security Platform that enables sensitive data discovery, security and access control and activity monitoring. Immuta Discover automatically discovers and classifies sensitive data relevant to the leading regulatory frameworks. Immuta Detect adds critical user and data access behavior monitoring and auditing. And, Immuta Secure provides scalable data access control and enforcement across cloud data platforms. Together, these capabilities give customers comprehensive data security and governance for analytic workloads.

Airbyte, creators of the fastest-growing open-source data integration platform, today announced its "Powered by Airbyte" version that enables makers of software to embed over 100 integrations into their applications – accelerating their time-to-market while increasing the focus on their core product value.
“Powered by Airbyte” removes the time-consuming task of building data integrations from scratch. Instead, using Airbyte's extensive library of connectors enables rapid data movement and synchronization between various sources and destinations. This novel approach liberates engineering teams from the burdensome task of integration development, letting them redirect their resources to building out their product's features and capabilities.
Engineering teams shouldn't need to build everything themselves, said Michel Tricot, co-founder and CEO, Airbyte. They are wasting time on integration work when they don't need to do that. Now, their data movement and integration needs are covered with Powered by Airbyte so that they can re-focus their engineering time on their product's core value proposition.
Early users of Powered by Airbyte report high satisfaction and excellent results.
Cart.com is a fast-growing provider to 6,000 brands helping them get their products in the hands of their buyers. Last year, the company helped move over $5 billion in gross merchandise value with a total of 140 million product listings. Cart utilizes Powered by Airbyte in its Unified Analytics product that helps its merchant customers to predict demand, allocate inventory and adjust advertising spending by pulling in the merchant's data from sources such as Facebook, Google Ads, Google Analytics, Hubspot, Mailchimp, Shopify, and more. The data is then consolidated in Cart’s Snowflake data warehouse with all of the integration and data movement done with Powered by Airbyte. Cart is able to offer its merchants self-service to sign up for an account, connect their data sources, connect their integrations, and begin using the product on their own.
“With Airbyte, we don’t need to worry about connectors and focus on creating value for our users instead of building infrastructure. That’s priceless,” said Chase Zieman, chief data officer, Cart. “The time and energy saved allows us to disrupt and grow faster.”
Digital marketing firm, KORTX, delivers personalized experiences for clients and custom reporting built on BigQuery and Looker. That requires centralizing all of their clients’ data from Facebook Marketing, Google Ads, Google Analytics, Hubspot and more into BigQuery so it can be analyzed. Prior to using Powered by Airbyte, data was pulled manually and put into spreadsheets and, of course, clients did not have real-time access to the data.
“Without Airbyte’s ease-of-use and library of API connectors, we would have either had to lean heavily on valuable engineering resources to build out custom connections to power our custom reporting dashboard solutions or continue with time-consuming manual reporting,” said Jeff Isreal, director of analytics at KORTX.
Damon Henry, KORTX founder and CEO, said, “With Airbyte, our team of data engineers could easily develop new connectors or customize existing ones to meet our clients' needs. The platform’s resilience and reliability mean that we can now focus more on deriving insights and less on managing data pipelines. With Airbyte as our ally, KORTX is not just meeting but exceeding client expectations, ensuring that advertising campaigns are not just effective but are also backed by data that is as robust as it is reliable.”
Airbyte makes moving data easy and affordable across almost any source and destination, helping enterprises provide their users with access to the right data for analysis and decision-making. Airbyte has the largest data engineering contributor community – with more than 800 contributors – and the best tooling to build and maintain connectors.
Pricing for Powered by Airbyte is based primarily on the number of customers syncing data through Airbyte. This makes pricing easier to forecast and more predictable than alternative solutions. Additional pricing details, and a pricing estimator can be found here.
About Airbyte
Airbyte is the open-source data movement leader running in the safety of your cloud and syncing data from applications, APIs, and databases to data warehouses, lakes, and other destinations. Airbyte offers four products: Airbyte Open Source, Airbyte Enterprise, Airbyte Cloud, and Powered by Airbyte. Airbyte was co-founded by Michel Tricot (former director of engineering and head of integrations at Liveramp and RideOS) and John Lafleur (serial entrepreneur of dev tools and B2B). The company is headquartered in San Francisco with a distributed team around the world. To learn more, visit airbyte.com.
