🎉 What’s new

We are excited to announce the addition of SCRAM authentication support for the Apache Kafka connector. This feature allows for a more secure form of password-based authentication.

• SCRAM Authentication: Kafka now supports SCRAM-SHA-256 and SCRAM-SHA-512 for authenticating clients and brokers.
• Improved Security: SCRAM provides stronger password hashing and eliminates the need for plaintext passwords, ensuring better protection against brute-force attacks.
  

✨ Let’s dig deeper

This release makes it easier to ensure a higher level of security in your Kafka environment, reducing the risk of unauthorized access and improving overall system integrity.

• Enhanced authentication security for Kafka clusters.
• Better integration with existing enterprise security practices.
• Allows fine-grained access control through password management.
