Case Study: Databricks reduces account compromise risk with Bridgecrew

How Databricks reduced account compromise risk by codifying IAM with Bridgecrew

Databricks, the Unified Data Analytics leader, needed to tighten cloud security as its AWS environment grew rapidly and cloud sprawl created IAM governance gaps. With a lean security team focused on scaling the business, Databricks turned to Bridgecrew to help identify and prioritize cloud infrastructure risks, especially around identity and access management.

Bridgecrew connected to Databricks’ AWS accounts and used automation and policy-as-code to right-size IAM, remediate permissions safely, and set guardrails for future access. In just three months, Bridgecrew helped Databricks reduce groups and roles by 75%, right-size account admins by 96%, and remove 100% of unused users, significantly lowering account compromise risk.
