AI agents don’t wait in line. But most data access models still assume they will. That’s the breaking point. For years, tickets and static roles were “good enough.” Slow, but workable when humans were the only ones asking for data. Now agents are in the loop, and everything cracks. They either get way too much access just to keep things moving, or they hit a wall and stall. And when something goes wrong, it’s not even clear who (or what) did what. This isn’t just a scale issue. The model itself breaks. That’s what Immuta CTO Steven Touw gets into here, and why we’re extending data provisioning to support Agentic Data Access. Access has to be dynamic, temporary, and policy-driven—for humans and agents. Anything else doesn’t hold up. https://lnkd.in/e96R4HPN

The Data Provisioning Company. Enabling safe, instant access to data, for humans and AI.
About us
Immuta is The Data Provisioning Company, helping organizations safely and intelligently deliver governed data access to every consumer, human or AI. Since 2015, we’ve helped Fortune 500 companies and government agencies automate data provisioning at enterprise scale. As data demand surges and AI adoption accelerates, manual ticketing systems can’t keep up. Immuta removes these bottlenecks by automating the entire access lifecycle, from policy enforcement to request handling, delivery, audit, and recertification. What Immuta Does - Automates data provisioning by policy (birthright) and by request (governed self-service). - Writes policies once, enforces everywhere with native integrations across warehouses, storage, BI, and catalogs. - Delivers secure access in minutes, not months while maintaining continuous compliance. - Supports humans and AI agents that need governed data at machine speed. How We Help - Faster time-to-data: Reduce access delays from weeks to minutes with automated approvals and birthright access. - Less manual governance: Eliminate repetitive policy work and ticket triage for IT, stewards, and data owners. - Continuous compliance: Unified audit + automated recertification keep access accurate over time. - AI-ready provisioning: Governed access for LLMs, agents, and machine-driven workflows. Core Provisioning Workflows - Policy Authoring: Write once, enforce everywhere. Go from weeks of engineering to minutes. - Data Identification & Classification: Auto-detect and tag sensitive data to drive decisions. - Access Request Management: Governed self-service with automated approvals. - Behavior Monitoring: Detect unusual or risky access patterns in real time. - Unified Audit: See who accessed what, when, and why, in minutes, not days. The Outcome Organizations unlock data faster, reduce risk, and scale AI safely, with governed access delivered at the speed of need.

Immuta
Data Governance Software
Immuta is The Data Provisioning Company enabling organizations to deliver fast, governed access to data for both humans and AI. For years, data teams have been forced to choose between slowing the business down or taking on unnecessary risk. Manual tickets, fragmented policies, and platform-specific controls make it nearly impossible to scale secure access. Immuta removes this tradeoff by automating the entire data access lifecycle, from policy authoring and sensitive data classification to access requests, enforcement, monitoring, and audit. Policies are written once and enforced natively across your data platforms, ensuring consistent governance without blocking progress. Immuta integrates with leading cloud data platforms including Snowflake, Databricks, Amazon Redshift, Google BigQuery, Azure Synapse, and more. With automated, policy-driven provisioning, organizations reduce access delays, simplify governance, & maintain continuous compliance as data usage and AI adoption scale

The next phase of enterprise AI won’t be limited by models. It will come down to whether organizations can actually deliver data at the speed those systems require. In this piece, Matthew Carroll breaks down why provisioning is becoming the real constraint, and why access models built around tickets and approvals can’t keep up. The teams that get this right will unlock far more value from the data they already have. Read more ➟ https://lnkd.in/eD7WKWM3

AI agents don’t submit tickets. So why is data access still built that way? That’s the shift behind Agentic Data Access, and it’s starting to show up in the broader data conversation. We appreciate the mention from Solutions Review this week! ➡️ https://lnkd.in/e6kv7787

Access still moves through tickets, manual approvals and processes, even as the demand for AI and the need for strong governance continues to grow.

AI agents operate at machine speed, while most access models still assume human pace. That gap is where things break. When access decisions can’t keep up, systems stall or controls get loosened just to keep things moving. Unfortunately...neither scales. https://lnkd.in/eFqfm2dk

Most data teams have modernized their platforms. Few have modernized how data gets delivered. That gap is starting to show. AI is driving continuous, programmatic demand for data. But provisioning still relies on tickets, approvals, and manual steps. The result: - Slower AI initiatives - Growing access backlogs - More pressure on governance teams So what does a modern provisioning model look like? We’re breaking that down with Microsoft and Warner Bros. Discovery on March 31. Join us: https://lnkd.in/ejRGRFqC #DataProvisioning #AI #DataGovernance #AIGovernance #DataSecurity

AI agents are starting to show up in places most teams didn’t expect. They’re not just answering questions. They’re pulling data from multiple systems, testing queries, and working through problems on their own. And they don’t do it once or twice a day. They do it continuously. That’s where things start to break. Most access models were built around people. Tickets, approvals, standing permissions. That works when requests are occasional. It doesn’t hold up when requests never stop. So the question changes. It’s not just who should have access. It’s whether a specific request should be allowed right now, given the context. That’s a different way of thinking about access. It’s what we’re building toward with Agentic Data Access — a model where access is provisioned dynamically, based on policy, intent, and context, not just identity. If you’re starting to see this shift in your own environment, this is worth a look. Learn more → https://lnkd.in/eFqfm2dk

When access requests move at machine speed, governance can’t rely on human-scale processes. Agentic Data Access is about closing that gap, with just-in-time, policy-based provisioning that keeps systems responsive and accountable. This is how you operationalize AI safely. https://lnkd.in/eD7WKWM3
Enterprise data access is changing faster than most of us expected. We forecast that Immuta will control data access for more AI agents than humans by the end of our fiscal year. AI agents are quickly becoming a primary interface to enterprise data. That changes the fundamentals of data provisioning. Access models built for humans — static roles, standing privileges, and ticket-driven workflows — do not hold up when non-human identities are operating 24/7 at machine speed. Today, I’m excited to share that Immuta is launching Agentic Data Access. This launch is not about agents for agents’ sake. It is about data: how enterprises provision and govern access to enterprise data in real time, without impersonation, standing privileges, or ticket-driven delays. With Agentic Data Access, Immuta treats AI agents as first-class identities: ◾️ They act on behalf of users, not as users. ◾️ At question time, Immuta evaluates who is acting, who they’re acting for, what data is needed, and why — then provisions temporary access directly in the underlying data platform. Every decision is fully auditable. What makes this moment especially meaningful is that it is not a pivot. It is the next step in Immuta’s evolution: from data security, to data provisioning, to agentic data governance. If the future of AI depends on access to the right data at the right moment, data access and governance have to move at that same speed. Read the blog: https://lnkd.in/gYKNb32j
