ALTR launches policy automation engine for enterprises

Texas-based ALTR, which offers a platform to manage Snowflake data access and security, today announced the release of a policy automation engine to help companies automate the entire process of writing and maintaining policies to control who gets access to what data and how frequently.

Summary

Often understaffed and overburdened, data and analytics engineering teams face massive backlogs from their business. On top of this, if asked to set up data access policies, manage ongoing updates to data permissions and handle data access requests, these professionals end up spending a large chunk of business hours on the task instead of their main job.
