Starburst Global Access Control

Starburst Global Access Control is a security solution designed to ensure that data in Starburst Enterprise is accessed only by authorized users, addressing the need for stringent data security measures in large organizations. It operates by enforcing predefined policies that restrict or mask data based on user access permissions, thus preventing unauthorized exposure to sensitive information. The system includes features such as access control policies, column masking, and row-level filtering, which collectively allow organizations to manage who can see or modify data at various levels. These policies can be tailored to specific groups or departments, enabling companies like the example corporation to control data access in alignment with their internal structures. Additionally, Starburst Global Access Control integrates with Apache Ranger for centralized policy management, simplifying security architecture across multiple clusters, and it supports sandbox environments for development and testing purposes. This comprehensive approach to data access management highlights the importance of planning and implementing security measures to protect sensitive data in today's data-driven landscape.
