What is data lineage and how is it changing data security?
Data lineage, also known as data provenance or data tracing, is the process of tracking data as it moves within an organization to understand its origins, the ways it's been modified, as well as who is using it and how. These are effectively the “What, Where, Who, and Why” of the data being created, modified, and shared within your organization. This added context about data, allows security teams to better protect it from theft and misuse.
