Bluetalon

BlueTalon was a data-centric security company founded in 2013 and headquartered in Redwood City, California, that provided centralized data access control, dynamic data masking, and policy enforcement across big-data and hybrid data environments (Hadoop, Spark, relational databases, and cloud data stores). Its platform let enterprises define and enforce fine-grained authorization, auditing, and data- protection policies from a single control point. BlueTalon was backed by DCVC (Data Collective) among other investors, and was acquired by Microsoft in 2019, with its technology folded into Microsoft's Azure data-governance and security portfolio. The company no longer operates independently: bluetalon.com is no longer resolvable and the GitHub organization retains only archived, deprecated repositories. This profile is retained as a network record of an acquired provider; there is no live public API surface to enrich.

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

Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero: never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and several others — scorable at all.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/bluetalon: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
