At Onware, we understand that data security is one of the most pressing concerns in today’s digital landscape. That’s why our CEO, Fraser Gallop, recently presented at the Austin Tableau User Group’s February 2024 meeting on a vital topic: Securing Your Data at the User Level.
The Importance of User-Level Data Security
As organizations rely more on data to drive decision-making, ensuring that data remains secure while being accessible to the right people becomes essential. User-level data security ensures that each individual only has access to the data they are authorized to view—providing both protection and efficiency in data workflows.
Fraser’s presentation delved into:
- The challenges of implementing user-level security in Tableau.
- Best practices for ensuring data remains secure without hindering usability.
- How Onware’s own experience in Tableau has shaped our approach to data governance.
Highlights from Fraser Gallop’s Presentation
During the session, Fraser shared practical insights, including:
- Strategies for Row-Level Security in Tableau: How to dynamically filter data based on user roles or credentials.
- Overcoming Common Pitfalls: Tackling issues like performance optimization and maintaining usability.
- Real-World Applications: Examples of how Onware has implemented these strategies for clients, demonstrating tangible benefits.
Fraser’s expertise not only provided actionable takeaways for the audience but also underscored Onware’s role as a leader in leveraging Tableau for secure and effective data management.
