Case Study: Starburst achieves zero standing production admin access with BeyondTrust Entitle

Starburst achieves zero standing admin access in production with BeyondTrust

Starburst, a software company providing a data lakehouse platform, faced the challenge of needing to enable access to its production environment for engineers without slowing down operations, while also mitigating the security risks of having engineers with standing elevated roles in AWS. They partnered with BeyondTrust and implemented its Entitle solution to address this.

BeyondTrust's Entitle solution enabled Starburst to adopt a read-only baseline model where engineers request just-in-time access for changes. This resulted in zero engineers having baseline admin access in production, significantly enhancing security. The implementation automated on-call escalations and drastically reduced manual work, providing Starburst with a quick time to value and streamlined cloud operations.
