Databricks Storms Into Cybersecurity With Lakewatch Launch
Databricks debuts SIEM service Lakewatch and snaps up two security startups to beef up its security play.
Databricks is making a serious push into cybersecurity. The data and AI giant just launched Lakewatch, a security information and event management (SIEM) service designed to help clients monitor and respond to threats.
That's not all. The company also announced it has acquired two security startups: Antimatter and SiftD. The dual acquisitions signal Databricks isn't just dipping a toe into security — it's diving in headfirst.
The move makes strategic sense. Databricks has built a massive business processing data and running generative AI models, pulling in billions in revenue. Security is a natural extension when you're already sitting on top of that much enterprise data.
By combining its existing data infrastructure with dedicated security tooling and fresh talent from two acquisitions, Databricks is positioning itself as a one-stop shop for data, AI, and now cybersecurity.
