Governance on Databricks

In this video, you will learn how Unity Catalog enables organizations to manage, access, and secure data across a wide range of analytics engines and platforms. The demo illustrates how managed tables, regardless of format, are automatically optimized for performance and can be queried or updated from external tools such as EMR Trino, Snowflake, and DuckDB, with all changes reflected immediately within the catalog. Viewers will see how Attribute Based Access Control (ABAC) policies can be applied at scale to protect sensitive data like PII, with protections enforced even when data is accessed from external engines. The video also highlights how Unity Catalog provides centralized governance, ensuring consistent security, access control, and auditability across the entire analytics ecosystem, making it easy for data teams to maintain compliance and data integrity regardless of the tools in use.
