A crowded field of AI Security Platforms: Databricks’ latest move puts it in competition with established security players who’ve been leaning heavily on AI-driven analytics, including Splunk (now part of Cisco), Microsoft Sentinel, Google Chronicle, and startups like Securonix. Each offers some flavors of unifying data streams, layering AI detection, and reducing analyst fatigue.For Databricks, the differentiator will be whether its Lakehouse roots can overcome the “rip-and-replace” perception common in cybersecurity. Analysts will be watching to see if Agent Bricks can give customers enough flexibility to deploy AI responsibility while avoiding the lock-in that plagues traditional SIEM. Adanan Amjad, US cyber leader at Deloitte, argued that the ecosystem strategy could help Databricks stand out. “Our alliance with Databricks helps enable organizations to fully utilize AI-driven insights, helping them transform their security operations to meet the challenges of today’s digital landscape,” he said. Still, to excel, Databricks will need to prove that an open partner network and unified governance deliver more than just marketing lines.
