Support of OLAC for Databricks with DBX PrivateLink enabled environments

Databricks PrivateLink enabled environments support OLAC for Databricks (AWS).

Cost optimization in Snowflake PolicySync

By forgoing the cost of cloud services, Snowflake PolicySync lowers expenses. We have modified our metadata-loading query strategy in order to cut costs.

Support of DataAdmin Permission and Secure View Concept for the Microsoft SQL/Synapse

By default, Microsoft SQL/Synapse now supports DataAdmin Permission and Secure View Concept. If you have installed the MSSQL connector prior to the 6.4 release, contact the Privacera support team for the necessary configuration.

Introducing new macros for ABAC

New macros have been added to improve support for attribute-based access control. For more information, see Use Macros with Attribute-Based Access Control.

Support of column masking or row-level filtering policy for the PUBLIC group in RedShift PolicySync connector

The RedShift PolicySync connector supports column masking or row-level filtering policies for the PUBLIC group.

CREATE DATABASE privilege for a specific user and the PUBLIC group in the RedShift PolicySync connector

Granting the PUBLIC group and a specific user the CREATE DATABASE privilege in a policy now works perfectly with the RedShift PolicySync connector.

New masking function in Snowflake PolicySync for numeric dataType columns

Previously, PolicySync used 0 as the default masking value for numeric dataType columns; now, PolicySync will use the HASH() function from Snowflake to mask numeric dataType columns. As a result, existing policies that were previously created with 0 as the masking value will need to be disabled and enabled to reflect the new masking function, i.e., HASH().

Support of Discovery offline and real-time scans by Databricks v10.4 LTS

Databricks version 10.4 LTS supports Discovery offline and real-time scans.
