Databricks

Databricks announced the acquisitions of Antimatter and SiftD.ai in March 2026 and combined them to launch Lakewatch, a new Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) product built on Databricks' data-lakehouse platform. The move positions Databricks, best known for its data engineering and machine learning platform, as a competitor in the enterprise security analytics market alongside established SIEM vendors.

Databricks was founded in 2013 by the creators of Apache Spark and is valued at approximately $62 billion as of late 2025. It provides a unified data analytics and AI platform used by enterprises for data engineering, machine learning and analytics workloads. The security analytics space, where SIEM workloads require processing large volumes of event data, is a natural adjacency for a company whose core strength is high-throughput data processing.

The Lakewatch launch follows Google's $32 billion acquisition of Wiz and positions Databricks in the broader consolidation of Cloud security tooling around data-platform companies. For enterprise security teams evaluating SIEM vendors, Databricks' entry with Lakewatch introduces a data-native alternative built on the lakehouse architecture already in use for non-security workloads.
