PlainID - Experts & Thought Leaders

PlainID, the Authorization Company™, has announced its new dynamic security capabilities via the PlainID Authorizer for SQL databases. When combined with PlainID's current capabilities, the new features will enable externalization of central management and authorization, followed by dynamic, scalable distribution of enforcement for all users accessing SQL databases.  Authorization has traditionally been built into individual, homegrown applications. However, this method is neither scalable nor secure. Controls have become too siloed to guarantee appropriate permission and compliance, and rules designed for initial databases do not align with end users of apps and services. With the introduction of The PlainID Authorizer™ for SQL Databases and The PlainID Authorization Platform, PlainID seeks to address these issues by centralizing authorization administration and externalizing authorization. PlainID Authorization Platform PlainID Authorization Platform dynamically changes the query at runtime to return only To provide continual, contextual access to digital assets stored in databases like PostgreSQL, Microsoft SQL Server, Amazon Redshift, and others, the PlainID Authorization Platform dynamically changes the query at runtime to return only the data the user is authorized to view.  Situated at the data layer within the apps or within the microservices layer, the Authoriser handles security on a large scale. The platform is designed to ensure users can only view specific data depending on the source from which they are receiving it, while providing enterprises with:  Central Policy Management: Use a business-driven user interface to control access to SQL database data assets so that access decisions are uniform across company apps.  Course & Fine-grained Authorization: Establish granular controls by identifying which rows, columns, and cells are accessible to authorized users.  Low to no-code Integration: Use PlainID's SQL SDK to expedite application development while ensuring robust access controls  Consistently Control Data: Standardize data access controls from applications to microservices and APIs across enterprise layers.  Author's quote "We are thrilled to introduce these new features to our partner community and customers," said Gal Helemski, co-founder and CTO at PlainID. “With enterprise-wide data access control across all layers of the technology stack, low-code/no-code development via Spring Boot, and standardized access controls to help protect sensitive data, the new Authorizer for SQL databases will help us improve our ability to grant access to the appropriate individuals and genuinely empower enterprises. Organizations can now better regulate the granularity of data protection and industry requirements both locally and globally with the flexibility and agility that PlainID delivers.”

Having the fraud and risk capabilities coupled with identity verification and a robust orchestration engine - puts us in a unique place. We have more entry points into customers than traditional CIAM vendors and can meet many needs of customers even if they have deployed a legacy CIAM vendor.” Digital Identity and Cybersecurity Ademi said, "The digital identity landscape is in a constant state of evolution, and Transmit Security's solutions offer a distinctive approach." “They prioritize not only enhancing user experiences but also effectively countering cyber threats and preventing identity theft. This unique approach facilitates the convergence of Digital Identity and Cybersecurity teams, bridging two previously separate domains that are inherently interconnected."

PlainID, The Authorization Company™, the provider of authorization and policy-based access control, announces a strategic partnership with Dremio, the easy and open data lakehouse company. This partnership enables Dremio clients to leverage PlainID's central access control platform to manage and control access to data via Dremio, allowing for advanced access controls as part of their overall data security strategy. Simplifying data architectures The Dremio open data lakehouse delivers all of the data management, data governance, and analytic capabilities typically associated with the data warehouse directly on data lake storage. Dremio simplifies data architectures and enables self-service Business Intelligence and ad hoc SQL queries for a wide range of technical and non-technical data consumers. Rapid growth of cloud data lakes, as well as migration of data and analytic workloads to the cloud, has contributed to growing pressure on enterprise security. PlainID protects that data by externalizing authorization and centralizing its management through its PlainID Authorization Platform and PlainID Authorisers™. Digital identities access data PlainID orchestrates policy-based access control for Dremio by enabling granular control "With the threat of data infiltration, theft, and cyberattacks, an extra layer of protection for our heavily regulated customers’ data is key," said Roger Frey, VP, Technology Alliances, Dremio. He adds, "PlainID made this process easy to implement and ready to utilize quickly. PlainID helps us orchestrate policies and leverage policy-based access control to maintain visibility, consistency, and standardization of authorization. Centralized management of policies helps us strengthen data security by granular and flexible control on how digital identities access data.” PlainID orchestrates policy-based access control for Dremio by enabling granular control and visibility of the data ecosystem with centralized policies that create, enforce, and manage, including workflow approvals for policy updates. Managing authorization platform "Data lakehouse security is top of mind for many security professionals as they navigate data access for their workforce and customers," said Gal Helemski, CTO and Co-Founder of PlainID. “By implementing controls that allow authorized users to access and modify digital assets, we can ensure unauthorized users are blocked from compromising them. With PlainID’s centrally managed authorization platform and Dremio’s self-service analytics capabilities, all types of identities can access data for insights securely.” PlainID will be demonstrating its platform at the upcoming Data Governance and Information Quality event in Washington, D.C. December 5th-9th. To learn more about how authorization helps organizations protect their data, schedule a demo on PlainID’s website. Dremio Cloud is available on Amazon Web Services (AWS), and it is free to get started.
