Veza for Snowflake
Snowflake is probably your single largest repository of sensitive data, from customer behavior, to PII, to payment info. As more and more services build on top of the data warehouse, managing access to that data only gets harder to scale. Veza definitively answers the question : Who can take what action on data in Snowflake?
Identity security challenges in Snowflake
How Veza can help
Veza is powered by its Access Graph, which gives organizations the ability to visualize access relationships between all identities and systems by connecting users, groups, roles, and permissions.
- Reduced Risk: Surface and prioritize identities with the highest privilege, risk, or policy issues across all enterprise systems, without having to master Snowflake’s complex access control model.
- Least Privilege: Reduce risks and simplify audits by continuously identifying and remediating identity misconfigurations, dormant permissions, and over-permissioned identities.
- Team Efficiency: Reduce manual, repetitive tasks by leveraging automation to detect and remove dormant access. Use Veza to delegate access decisions to business managers who best understand specific systems.
- Effective permissions: translate Snowflake RBAC permissions into simple, human-readable language—”create, read, update, delete”.
- Automated monitoring: watch continuously for policy violations and new privileged accounts, so you can comply with internal controls and external regulations without burdening security and governance teams.
- Activity monitoring: Identify roles and users in Snowflake with unused privileges to remove dormant identities, right-size access, and cut unused permissions.
- Agentless read-only connections to both Snowflake and your identity providers, give a complete picture of the access granted to federated identities, revealing governance blindspots, like local users.
