Features and benefits of the Okera and Starburst solution will include:

• Federated analytics with role-based access control (RBAC) and attribute-based access control (ABAC): Rapidly query multiple data sources across distributed enterprises with fine-grained access control (FGAC) to accelerate time to value.
• Scalable governance: Scale deployments up or down based on analytics demands for access to data with confidence that governance controls are always in place.
• Access management model that enables distributed stewardship: Delegate the management of data and fine-grained access policies to those in the lines of business who understand the data and/or governance requirements.
• Centralized auditing with a consistent schema: Understand who, when, where, and what data is being accessed, and if that data is sensitive, to detect potential misuse of data and gain full visibility into the organization’s compliance risk.

Starburst Enterprise for Presto is the world’s fastest distributed SQL query engine, enabling high-speed queries across a data lake, including federated queries across multiple data sources. The Okera Dynamic Access Platform (ODAP) defines data access policies at a fine-grained level using an intuitive zero-code interface, then automatically enforces and audits them at enterprise scale. Together, they will speed secure data analytics at scale.
