BlueTalon Data Systems

BlueTalon Data Systems was a data-centric security company that built dynamic, policy-based access control, data masking, filtering, and auditing for enterprise data platforms such as Hadoop, relational databases, and big-data stores. It let organizations enforce fine-grained authorization and privacy controls at the point of data access. Founded around 2013 and headquartered in Redwood City, California, BlueTalon was acquired by Microsoft in July 2019, after which its team and technology were absorbed into Microsoft's data-governance and security efforts (Azure). BlueTalon no longer operates as an independent company; the bluetalon.com domain is parked on Azure DNS with no active web, developer, or API surface, so this network profile carries identity only and has no live artifacts to enrich.

BlueTalon Data Systems is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Data Security, Access Control, Data Governance, and Data Masking.
