Okera

Okera was a universal data access and authorization platform that provided fine-grained data access control and governance across multi-cloud, multi-datastore, and multi-tool environments. The platform enabled enterprises to define and automatically enforce data access policies that follow data anywhere it flows — across analytics tools, cloud data platforms, and data lakes — without requiring changes to existing infrastructure. Okera integrated natively with Amazon EMR, Databricks, Snowflake, and AWS Glue Data Catalog, and supported attribute-based access control (ABAC) to simplify data stewardship at scale. Okera was acquired by Databricks in May 2023 and its governance capabilities were incorporated into Databricks' Unity Catalog.
