DASF-33 — Manage credentials securely

Intent and implementation

Databricks Secrets stores your credentials and references them in notebooks, scripts, configuration properties and jobs. Integrating with heterogeneous systems requires managing a potentially large set of credentials and safely distributing them across an organization. Instead of directly entering your credentials into a notebook, use Databricks Secrets to store your credentials and reference them in notebooks and jobs to prevent credential leaks through models. Databricks secret management allows users to use and share credentials within Databricks securely. You can also choose to use a third-party secret management service, such as AWS Secrets Manager or a third-party secret manager.

Verification

Project adaptation: get_control returns a concrete evidence request, a proposed test, and an acceptance condition. A control description or product feature is not evidence of deployment or effectiveness.
