Simplified Cloud Storage Governance with Starburst and Immuta

Starburst and Immuta have collaborated to simplify cloud storage governance, addressing challenges faced by analysts and data engineers in accessing and securing data across various cloud environments. By integrating Starburst's high-performance MPP query engine with Immuta's Data Security platform, organizations can efficiently access, query, and secure data without being locked into specific vendor paradigms. This partnership allows users to access data stored across different platforms, such as AWS S3, ADLS, and Google Cloud Storage, using familiar ANSI SQL standards, thereby reducing costs and complexity. Immuta facilitates the management of access and security policies, minimizing the maintenance burden and security risks, while Starburst functions as an abstraction layer that eliminates the need for multiple dedicated connections to data sources. This integration streamlines data access, ensuring that only authorized users can retrieve sensitive information and apply necessary restrictions like data masking, ultimately reducing overhead and enhancing operational efficiency.
