SecureConnect

SecureConnect is a Databricks data governance capability, introduced June 2026.

An OpenSharing option that lets a provider share data from cloud storage behind a firewall or private endpoint without allowlisting each recipient's network.

• It lets a provider share data from storage behind a firewall or private endpoint without adding each collaborator's network to an allowlist, and it works for clean rooms too - Databricks brokers the connection through a managed proxy. 🔗
• It debuted as 'OpenSharing SecureConnect' in June 2026. 🔗
• It is generally available and still Private Preview at the same time - which one you get depends on the cloud you share from, because provider support on GCP has not caught up. 🔗

⚠ Limitations: Assets can't be backed by Cloudflare R2; volumes, notebooks, AI models, and Iceberg tables are unsupported across all sharing protocols; it isn't available on AWS GovCloud; and AWS PrivateLink to S3 isn't compatible with the FIPS endpoints Databricks uses by default in US regions. mTLS is supported only for Databricks recipients on serverless compute, and provider support on GCP is still Private Preview. 🔗
