The VAST Data Platform supports Multi-Category Security (MCS) by enabling data with different security classifications or categories to coexist securely on the same system while enforcing strict access controls so users only see data they are permitted to access. MCS extends beyond traditional hierarchical classifications by incorporating categories or compartments—such as projects, data types, or organizational units—allowing fine-grained access control by associating users with specific category-based permissions. VAST’s architecture, built from the ground up on its Disaggregated Shared-Everything (DASE) model, integrates advanced multi-tenancy and robust security features natively.
