GigaOm Data Access Control Report: Immuta ABAC vs. Apache Ranger RBAC

Default alt text

GigaOm cloud data security report finds Immuta’s data access control 75X more efficient than Ranger’s.

The data access control debate over role-based access control vs. attribute-based access control is over.

In a head-to-head comparison by GigaOm, Immuta’s attribute-based access control (ABAC) required 75X fewer policy changes than Ranger’s role-based access control (RBAC) to accomplish the same security objectives. The downstream impact of choosing ABAC vs. RBAC is enormous, with the attribute-based approach increasing cloud ROI by more than $300,000.

In this report, you’ll learn:

  • How Immuta’s ABAC model compares to Apache Ranger’s RBAC
  • How RBAC and ABAC stack up in both simple and advanced data access control scenarios
  • How data access policy changes translate to time and opportunity costs
