New update simplifies the orchestration of policies for joint customers across their Starburst environment without the need to rewrite queries or change workflows

Immuta, a data security leader, announced its latest enhancements to its integration with Starburst, the analytics anywhere company, offering more seamless operability between the two platforms to help joint customers meet increasing data mesh security and access demands. This update comes as Immuta continues to see strong customer adoption with Starburst users, including leading organizations like ADP and Thomson Reuters.

In response to the increasing number of data sources and need for greater agility, organizations are embracing data mesh to effectively handle 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 scale up. The latest integration offers a streamlined and efficient solution, enabling teams to access policy-controlled data directly in their Starburst or Trino catalogs without rewriting queries or changing 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.

“From the onset of our partnership with Starburst, our focus has been addressing the growing data access control and security demands for modern data architectures, particularly as more organizations adopt data mesh architectures,” said Matthew Carroll, CEO, Immuta. “With these enhancements, we’re empowering our customers to maximize the power and flexibility of data mesh with fast, secure data access, while continuing to enhance our integration to seamlessly meet evolving customer demands.”
