Data access control is becoming increasingly important as more and more sensitive data is being stored and processed by businesses and organizations. In this episode, the VP of Developer Experience at lakeFS, Adi Polak, joins to help define data access control and give examples of sensitive data that requires access control.

Adi also talks about the concept of role-based access control (RBAC), which differs from traditional access control methods and provides several advantages. The steps involved in implementing RBAC are discussed, as well as best practices and challenges. Real-world examples of RBAC implementation and success stories are provided, and lessons learned from RBAC implementation are shared.

We also discuss lakeFS, an open-source platform that provides a Git-like interface for managing data lakes. In particular, we get into the data management controls, the security and privacy features, and the future of the product.
