Unity catalog

Native Integration with Unity Catalog

Databricks Unity Catalog provides a foundation to govern data across the Databricks landscape. Immuta integrates natively with Unity Catalog to supercharge data security on top of Databricks and provide fine-grained access controls at scale.

Immuta + Unity Catalog

Achieve a 93x Reduction* in Data Policies

Imagine an organization with over 200,000 tables in Databricks that hold some sensitive data including PII.

To secure that data without Immuta, you would need to inventory every table, its data, its policies, and the column types. Then, you have to write role-based policy functions for all 200,000+ tables. 

With Immuta, you can accomplish the same security objective with a single data policy.

The policy references the PII that Immuta automatically discovers. When activated, the policy will be propagated across all tables with PII by translating the policy logic into the Unity Catalog primitives.

Architecture

Immuta + Databricks Architecture

Immuta delivers data security for the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform through Unity Catalog. Unity Catalog lays the foundation for data governance and access control across Databricks workloads, and Immuta augments and scales those controls by separating policy from platform and enabling dynamic policy orchestration.

Use Cases

Unlocking Value with Immuta and Databricks

Immuta enables customers to maximize their investment in Databricks by simplifying operations, improving data security, and unlocking data's value.

Simplify Operations

For organizations looking to modernize their tech stacks with Databricks and reduce bottlenecks, Immuta provides easy, plain language policy authoring while enabling distributed data stewardship. Users are empowered to create and manage policies and implement dynamic attribute-based access controls, with no technical expertise required.

Improve Data Security

By separating policy from platform, Immuta allows for consistent policy enforcement across Databricks. As data rules and regulations rapidly increase, Immuta’s flexible access control approach allows users to create attribute- and purpose-based restrictions, simplifying security and compliance with regulatory requirements and making it easier to investigate incidents.

Unlock Data's Value

Immuta accelerates access to data by 100x, enabling Databricks users to be more productive. With Immuta, organizations can drive business innovation, improve data-driven decision making, reduce costs, and enhance the customer experience – all with reduced risk.
