Leveraging Apache Spark and Delta Lake for Efficient Data Encryption at Scale

Explore an innovative approach to data privacy and security in this 25-minute conference talk from Databricks. Learn how Mars Petcare's data engineering team developed Gecko, an efficient CCPA compliance ecosystem designed for Apache Spark and Delta Lake. Discover how Gecko automates consumer deletion requests, enhances PII data security, maintains non-PII data integrity, and ensures accessibility of PII data when needed. Understand the implementation of row-level encryption for PII tables and the strategic storage of encryption keys. Gain insights into leveraging Spark and Delta Lake for large-scale data encryption, automated privacy rights requests, and enhanced platform security. Explore the potential for using the generated labeled dataset in developing machine learning models for automatic PII detection. Delve into the technical aspects, benefits, and future possibilities of this data privacy solution, tailored for organizations facing challenges in consumer data privacy compliance.
