Data products as the cornerstone of Purpose-Based Access Control

In an era fueled by data-driven insights, the protection of sensitive information has never been more critical. As organizations and individuals navigate the vast expanse of data, the need for finely-tuned access controls has grown exponentially.

The evolution of access control mechanisms - From ACL to PBAC
