San Francisco, CA – June 10, 2025 – ALTR, the leading provider of data security and access control, today announced support for Databricks within its unified data security platform. Launching at the Databricks Data + AI Summit, the integration brings no-code access policy management, real-time data classification, and precision tag-driven masking directly into the Databricks ecosystem—enabling organizations to safeguard sensitive data without compromising performance.
Built with native pushdown integration for Databricks, ALTR allows governance and security teams to define and enforce both broad and fine-grained data access policies across the entire data lifecycle. Its intuitive, no-code interface empowers teams to quickly adapt controls based on changing business needs, user roles, or regulatory requirements—eliminating the need for custom code or manual enforcement.
“Data teams need speed. Security teams need control. ALTR bridges that gap for Databricks,” said Laura Malins, Vice President of Product at ALTR. “We’ve built a solution that integrates directly with Unity Catalog and makes data access governance truly scalable—without sacrificing query performance or adding operational overhead.”
Organizations can easily integrate with the Unity Catalog Metastore and begin classifying, tagging, and protecting data in minutes. The platform’s automated classification engine, powered by Google DLP, identifies sensitive data types such as PCI, PII, and PHI across the environment and applies tag-driven masking policies based on business logic or compliance mandates. All policies are pushed down directly into Databricks, preserving native performance while ensuring only authorized users can access protected information.
By shifting governance and security upstream into data pipelines and catalogs, ALTR helps enterprises streamline operations, reduce compliance risk, and unlock greater value from their data investments. The integration also supports end-to-end visibility across cloud data architectures, allowing organizations to apply consistent policy enforcement from origin to insight.
The addition of Databricks to ALTR’s expanding list of supported platforms underscores the company’s commitment to meeting customers where their data lives—enabling security and governance teams to protect data at scale, without slowing innovation. Recently recognized as a Gartner Cool Vendor in Data Security, ALTR continues to set the standard for scalable, enterprise-ready access control and data protection across modern cloud data stacks.
