The new update makes it easy to orchestrate policy for integrated clients in your Starburst environment without having to rewrite queries or change workflows.
Immuta, a leader in data security, today announced its latest enhancements to its integration with Starburst, the leading analytics company, offering a more seamless operation between the two platforms for Help integrated customers meet the growing needs for data mesh access and security. This update comes as Immuta continues to see strong user adoption of Starburst, including leading organizations such as ADP and Thomson Reuters.
In response to the growing number of data sources and the need for increased agility, organizations are adopting the data mesh to effectively manage their data and analytics. However, the decentralized nature of a data mesh presents challenges in maintaining consistent data access control and policy enforcement, especially as organizations grow. The latest integration offers a streamlined and efficient solution, allowing teams to access policy-driven data directly in their Starburst or Trino catalogs without rewriting those question or change any workflows. Immuta policies are simply translated into Starburst (Trino) rules and permissions and applied directly to tables within those systems for simple and seamless operability between Immuta and Starburst users.
“Since the beginning of our partnership with Starburst, our focus has been to address the growing needs for security and data access control for modern data architectures, especially as more organizations adopt the data mesh architecture,” said Matthew Carroll, CEO of Immuta. “With these improvements, we empower our customers to maximize the power and flexibility of the data mesh with fast and secure data access, while we continue to improve our integration to seamlessly to meet changing customer demands.”
