Databolt Connect empowers secure, multi-party data sharing powered by Databricks Apps and Clean Rooms
SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Databricks Data + AI Summit – Capital One Software, the enterprise B2B software business of Capital One, today announced Databolt Connect, a purpose-built, lightweight application that facilitates secure, multi-party data collaboration in Databricks. Available in the Databricks Marketplace, an open marketplace for data, analytics, and AI, powered by OpenSharing, Databolt Connect provides privacy-preserving linking of sensitive datasets to enable groundbreaking research and analytics.
“Across the board, organizations make impossible tradeoffs across regulatory compliance, security and the sharing data needed to grow their business,” said Prashant Prahlad, SVP, Product, Capital One Software. “By expanding our collaboration capabilities in Databolt and launching it on Databricks Marketplace, we’re enabling organizations to protect sensitive data assets natively within Databricks. This allows our customers to safely unlock the full potential of their data and accelerate collaboration, balancing the drive for innovation with a strong commitment to security and compliance."
For example, Health and Life Sciences (HLS) organizations possess highly sensitive data that could power breakthrough discoveries and innovation. However, this raw data often cannot be shared due to privacy regulations, as well as security and competitive risks. With the Databolt Connect App on Databricks Marketplace, users can securely prepare and link datasets within Databricks Clean Rooms without raw data ever leaving their environment. By eliminating the need to expose sensitive data, it helps organizations maintain compliance and security.
Key capabilities of Databolt Connect include:
- Zero-Trust and Native to Databricks: The data preparation, tokenization, and secure linking process executes exclusively within an organization’s controlled Databricks instance. The architecture is designed so that raw, sensitive data never leaves the customer’s environment and is not exposed to any third party, helping organizations strengthen security, privacy and compliance controls.
- Data Protection for HIPAA Regulated Data: The app allows for the application of customizable rules, including one-way, irreversible tokenization and generalization, for example, converting dates to year-only and full ZIP codes to 3-digit prefixes. These features are designed to generate unique, client-specific encrypted tokens that support secure record linkage and can support HIPAA de-identification workflows.
- Secure Record Linking: Multiple parties can bring their tokenized data into a shared Databricks Clean Room. Databolt Connect securely joins these datasets using the protected tokens, enabling high-value joint analysis while maintaining privacy for sensitive identifiers.
Customers consistently ask us for easier, more secure ways to discover, access, and share data and AI assets across their organizations and ecosystems," said Stephen Orban, SVP, Product Ecosystem & Partnerships at Databricks. "By bringing Capital One Software's Databolt Connect app to the Databricks Marketplace, we're helping our joint customers, such as in Health and Life Sciences, collaborate on their data with confidence — accelerating innovation and unlocking more value from their data on an open, governed platform."
