what is unity catalog in Databricks

“Unity Catalog distills permissioning into its important pieces by removing the complexity introduced by IAM policies and other data control platforms, allowing us to focus on what is important to our business use case.”

“Unity Catalog allowed us to create a unified view of our data estate, simplifying collaboration across teams.

We now have a standard approach to manage access permissions and audit files or tables in our lake,

with the ability to define fine-grained access controls on rows and columns.

Automated data lineage helped us see where the data is coming from to pinpoint the source of a potential threat and to understand which research projects or teams are leveraging the data for threat detection.”
