# What is Immuta?

Immuta helps you achieve the following outcomes in your data platform:

* **Simplify Operations**: Immuta’s dynamic access control and policy management require 93x fewer data policies to manage access control in your data platform according to the [GigaOm study](https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20230125005317/en/GigaOm-Report-Reveals-Advantages-of-Modern-Approach-to-Data-Access-Control). It is simple and scalable, which improves change management and lowers the total cost of ownership of cloud data management.
* **Improve data security**: Immuta helps prove compliance with rules and regulations, even when securing hundreds of thousands of tables. An Immuta customer, [Swedbank](https://www.immuta.com/resources/swedbank-unlocks-data-analytics-for-financial-services-with-immuta), migrated all critical analytics workloads to the cloud in less than 12 months, including over 100 terabytes from more than 2,500 sources.
* **Unlock data’s value**: Immuta helps organizations get access to more data 100x faster, which translates to improved productivity. An Immuta customer, [Thomson Reuters](https://www.immuta.com/resources/thomson-reuters-secures-snowflake-data-and-boost-productivity) enabled faster access to data, resulting in a 60x increase in data usage and greater productivity.

## How does Immuta do it?

Immuta provides three modules to create a full data security platform suite.

### Sensitive data discovery and classification: [Immuta Discover](/2024.3/discover-your-data/discover-introduction.md)

Discover sensitive data from millions of fields without manual effort. With over 60 pre-built and domain-specific identifiers, you can tailor data classification to your unique business needs based on your desired confidence level.

### Continuous data security monitoring: [Immuta Detect](/2024.3/detect-your-activity/detect-introduction.md)

Leverage timely insights into data access and user activity with anomaly indicators for faster analysis and proactive actions.

### Data security and access control: [Immuta Secure](/2024.3/secure-your-data/secure-introduction.md)

Immuta’s attribute-based access control (ABAC) delivers scalable data access without role explosion, and dynamic data masking ensures the right users can access the right data.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://documentation.immuta.com/2024.3/what-is-immuta.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
