Yugabyte announced the general availability of YugabyteDB 2.4 with hardened enterprise-grade security features, enhanced multi-region deployment capabilities, and performance improvements. The new release also introduces support for audit logging in YCQL and YSQL to allow administrators to track activity related to data access and help users quickly analyze the extent of any potential data breach. Apache Spark 3 integration has become the de-facto standard framework for distributed scale-out data processing. Yugabyte has completed a security and penetration testing audit to further validate that the database can be safely deployed in production.
