Starburst Galaxy April 2023 roundup: A new and improved security & governance experience

Starburst Galaxy's April 2023 update introduces enhanced security and governance features aimed at simplifying data management throughout its lifecycle. The platform now supports attribute-based access control (ABAC) in public preview, allowing administrators to create scalable security policies using business context rather than specific data entity names, which addresses issues with the rigidity of role-based access control (RBAC). This update also includes the ability to assign tags, such as those identifying personally identifiable information, to manage access more effectively. Additionally, the much-anticipated AWS PrivateLink support is available in private preview, offering an extra layer of security and network reliability by enabling encrypted connections between data sources and Starburst Galaxy. Looking ahead, the platform plans to introduce further security features, such as row-level filtering, single sign-on (SSO) for Tableau and PowerBI, and security APIs to manage policies programmatically.
