AI is only as safe as the data behind it. But today, sensitive information is spread across clouds, SaaS apps, and hybrid environments — often without consistent classification, policies, or guardrails. That lack of visibility creates blind spots that put both data and AI models at risk: copilots ingest sensitive data, shadow AI emerges without oversight, and legacy security tools can’t keep up with data-centric threats.
A Unified Approach with BigID and Databricks
Databricks introduced the Data Intelligence Platform for Cybersecurity to unify security and data in one governed lakehouse. BigID joins as a launch partner, extending the platform with industry-leading visibility, context, and control — powered by AI-driven discovery, classification, and remediation for sensitive, risky, and AI data.
BigID addresses the full spectrum of AI and data risk: from uncovering shadow AI and governing employee AI use, to securing training pipelines and enforcing responsible AI policies. By enriching governance, automating guardrails, and enabling action directly in Databricks, BigID helps organizations reduce risk, strengthen compliance, and innovate with trusted AI.
Together, BigID and Databricks help enterprises:
- Unify risk management by continuously discovering and classifying sensitive, risky, and AI data across the Lakehouse.
- Govern AI trust, risk, and security (AI TRiSM) with contextual metadata and automated guardrails in Unity Catalog.
- Secure AI pipelines by cleansing, curating, and validating data for compliant, high-quality training and usage.
- Strengthen security posture with policy-based controls and remediation across hybrid, cloud, and SaaS environments.
- Accelerate responsible AI adoption with continuous compliance, governance, and visibility built into the Databricks ecosystem.
What Sets BigID Apart
BigID goes beyond visibility. With bi-directional metadata synchronization in Databricks Unity Catalog, organizations can enrich governance with precision sensitivity tags, automate access controls, and directly enforce remediation policies.
Unlike point tools, BigID combines deep data intelligence with action: discover shadow AI, govern employee AI access, secure training pipelines, and enforce responsible AI policies — all while applying role-based access, automated masking, and cleansing before data ever reaches a model. This blend of intelligence and enforcement helps enterprises reduce exposure, accelerate compliance, and scale AI responsibly.
A Trusted Foundation for AI Innovation
By embedding BigID into Databricks’ Data Intelligence Platform for Cybersecurity, organizations gain a governed, secure foundation for AI and data – designed to reduce risk, strengthen compliance, and enable innovation with confidence.
