Rethinking Data Access Workflows for Scale

from The Ravit Show Hosted by Ravit Jain

I had a great conversation with Steven Touw, CTO of Immuta, at the Databricks Data + AI Summit — diving deep into one of the most overlooked challenges in scaling AI: data access. We started with a key question — why are traditional request-and-approve workflows no longer working for modern data teams? Steve broke it down: with more users, more data sources, and faster decision cycles, manual processes create friction, slow teams down, and often lead to over-permissioning or shadow access. We explored how policy-based access control is emerging as the scalable, secure alternative — automating who gets access to what, under which conditions, in real time. Steve also shared how Immuta is helping enterprises balance flexibility and control — enabling faster AI development without compromising on governance, compliance, or data privacy. This shift in thinking is critical for any company looking to unlock the full value of their data while keeping it safe. Appreciate the insights, Steve!!!! #data #ai #DataAISummit #Databricks #immuta #agentic #connectors #theravitshow
