Databricks Enters Security Market with Launch of Lakewatch: New Open, Agentic SIEM

Lakewatch uses AI agents powered by Anthropic’s Claude and recent acquisitions to improve threat detection and prioritization, aiming to tackle rising cybersecurity alert volumes.

  • On Tuesday, Databricks announced the launch of Lakewatch, an AI-powered Security Information and Event Management tool designed to detect and investigate security threats using artificial intelligence.
  • To support the new product, Databricks acquired two small startups: Antimatter, which closed last year, and San Francisco-based SiftD, which closed on Monday.
  • Lakewatch performs security tasks using AI agents powered by Anthropic's Claude, while CEO Ali Ghodsi said the work-based pricing model avoids being "too prohibitively expensive."
  • The tool competes with security offerings from Cisco-owned Splunk and Palo Alto Networks, with early adopters Adobe and National Australia Bank already using the platform.
  • Success with Lakewatch could help Databricks justify its $134 billion valuation, as CEO Ali Ghodsi noted LLMs "have matured to a point" where they automate significant security operations.
