How row filtering & column masking enables enterprise grade security

Starburst Galaxy has introduced enterprise-grade security features, row filtering and column masking, to enhance data protection by restricting access to sensitive information based on user permissions. Row filtering allows data administrators to dynamically filter data tables according to user roles, ensuring that users only see data relevant to their roles, such as sales teams viewing orders from their specific regions. Column masking, set to launch soon, will allow sensitive data like credit card numbers to be partially obscured, maintaining privacy while still allowing access to necessary information. These features are part of Starburst's broader strategy to implement attribute-based access control (ABAC), which will include user-based attributes and fine-grained tagging permissions, enhancing security and flexibility in data management. Users can explore these features through Starburst's free trial or educational resources to better understand role-based access control (RBAC) and ABAC in the platform.
