Satori Posture Manager helps security and data engineers quickly understand who has access to what data and how by continuously monitoring user permissions to data assets across your entire data infrastructure.

NOTE: User asset access activity is calculated for the last 30 days from the date selected.

How Does It Work?

Satori periodically scans your monitored data stores and collects permission information and analyzes which users have access to which data assets and provides details about the access path to the data assets. This is particularly useful for identifying duplicate access paths to the same asset.

Authorized Users Graph

The authorized data assets graph displays the current status of your data assets, as well as the previous authorized data assets status.

Use the two graphs to help you understand and improve your security posture of authorized access to your organizations data assets.
