MaskXccelerate: A Databricks Brickbuilder For Secure & Scalable Data Masking
Protect sensitive data without compromising performance, usability, or trust.
We’re excited to introduce MaskXccelerate, a Databricks-certified Brickbuilder Accelerator from Hoonartek. MaskXccelerate is a comprehensive data masking framework that enables secure, role-based access to sensitive data across enterprise data pipelines without disrupting analytics or AI workloads on the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform.
The Challenge: Security Without Friction
Enterprises face a persistent dilemma: how do you protect sensitive data while still enabling timely, trusted access for authorized users?
Traditional data masking approaches often rely on manual processes, fragmented implementations, or static controls that do not scale with modern data platforms. This creates a trade-off between security and usability – either sensitive data remains exposed, or overly restrictive controls slow analytics and decision-making. As data volumes grow and compliance requirements evolve, organizations need a dynamic, automated, and scalable approach to data masking.
MaskXccelerate: Dynamic Data Masking for Databricks
MaskXccelerate delivers automated, role-based data masking directly within Databricks. Sensitive data elements are protected using reusable User-Defined Functions (UDFs), with access governed by Active Directory group memberships.
At query time, users automatically receive masked or unmasked data based on their permissions – no manual intervention, no data duplication, and no changes to source data.
Key Capabilities
- Role-Based Access Control: Seamlessly integrates with Active Directory to enforce masked or unmasked views based on group membership, providing centralized and scalable permission management.
- Reusable Masking Functions: Standardized UDFs ensure consistent masking logic across datasets, reducing duplication while preserving data integrity.
- Automated Masking Workflows: Dynamic scripts apply and manage masking rules as roles and policies evolve, minimizing manual effort and operational risk.
