Story of a Unity Catalog (UC) Migration:  Using UCX at 7-Eleven to Reorient a Complex UC Migration

Story of a Unity Catalog (UC) Migration: Using UCX at 7-Eleven to Reorient a Complex UC Migration

talk
Prashanth Subrahmanyam (Databricks) , Ganesh Susarla (7-Eleven)

Unity Catalog (UC) enables governance and security for all data and AI assets within an enterprise’s data lake and is necessary to unlock the full potential of Databricks as a true Data Intelligence Platform. Unfortunately, UC migrations are non-trivial; especially for enterprises that have been using Databricks for more than five years, i.e., 7-Eleven. System Integrators (SIs) offer accelerators, guides, and services to support UC migrations; however, cloud infrastructure changes, anti-patterns within code, and data sprawl can significantly complicate UC migrations. There is no “shortcut” to success when planning and executing a complex UC migration. In this session, we will share how UCX by Databricks Labs, a UC Migration Assistant, allowed 7-Eleven to reorient their UC migration by leveraging assessments and workflows, etc., to assess, characterize, and ultimately plan a tenable approach for their UC migration.

Future of Anti-Cheat With Riot Games

Future of Anti-Cheat With Riot Games

2025-06-11 Watch
talk
Carly Taylor (Databricks) , Phillip Koskinas (Riot Games)

As online gaming evolves, so do cheating methods that exploit client-server vulnerabilities. Traditional anti-cheat, such as kernel-level drivers and runtime detections, has long been the primary defense. However, advanced cheats like Direct Memory Access (DMA) exploits and AI-powered Computer Vision (CV) hacks increasingly render client-side detection ineffective. This presentation examines the escalating arms race between cheat creators and developers, highlighting client-side limitations. With CV cheats mimicking human behavior, anti-cheat must shift toward server-side, data-driven detection. By leveraging AI, machine learning, and behavioral analytics to analyze player patterns, input anomalies, and decision inconsistencies, future solutions can move beyond static detection to adaptive security models, ensuring fair play at scale. The session will also include real-life examples from Riot Games’ anti-cheat efforts, specifically insights and case studies from the development and operation of Riot Vanguard, to illustrate how these strategies are applied in practice.
