Acante Data Access Observer™

Acante Data Access Observer is a data access governance and security observability platform designed for heterogeneous data and AI environments. The product addresses access governance, compliance, and privacy requirements across data lakehouse and data cloud platforms. The platform provides security configuration checks and guided remediation to maintain secure data infrastructure from initial deployment. It includes a library of out-of-the-box guardrails for continuous governance around data storage, usage, and sharing practices. The product monitors data access patterns from various identities including users, notebooks, and applications to detect potential misuse or leakage of sensitive data. It offers data sensitivity context for access request approvals and supports attribute-based access control (ABAC) policy definitions. The platform includes a natural language-driven copilot interface for non-SQL users to interact with governance processes. It provides comprehensive coverage for Snowflake data access, shares, and marketplace activities, as well as Databricks data assets, workloads, and AI models. The solution integrates with collaboration and ticketing platforms to streamline access provisioning workflows. It aims to reduce operational costs associated with access governance while maintaining security and compliance requirements across modern data platforms.
