How to scale governance to External Engines with Unity Catalog Open APIs

Enterprises are increasingly challenged to scale data and AI initiatives across diverse tools, clouds, and teams without fragmenting governance or slowing innovation. 

This session explores how organizations are using Unity Catalog as a unified governance layer for enabling secure, interoperable data access across engines and open table formats such as Delta Lake and Apache Iceberg with fine-grained controls. 

By simplifying access management through automated, identity-based credentials and applying a single, consistent policy framework, enterprises can reduce operational complexity while maintaining strong security and compliance. In this session, we will cover Lakehouse architecture patterns with UC Open APIs, and we will also show a live demo. 

Attendees will learn how this approach drives governed collaboration, speeds up analytics and AI workloads, and fuels business growth in multi-engine environments.
