Protect your Snowflake identities and data by closing critical security gaps with Nudge Security. Streamline identity governance, automate security posture management, and implement guardrails for safe, compliant Snowflake use—across all of your identities and tenants.
Snowflake offers numerous security protections like data masking, flexible authentication options, data access controls, and more. However, as we saw in the widespread (and successful) credential stuffing attacks against Snowflake customers in 2024, it’s easier than it should be to miss misconfigurations like inactive accounts, MFA gaps, or shadow instances. With so much for IT and security teams to maintain, even small oversights can lead to security incidents.
Nudge Security provides a unified approach to Snowflake security and governance, offering a central hub where IT, security, compliance, and business teams collaborate to effectively protect and manage their Snowflake ecosystem.
Unlock a continuous inventory of your organization’s SaaS and generative AI assets on Day One, including a detailed view of your Snowflake environment. With Nudge Security, you always know:
• Which employees have access and who has elevated privileges
• How often employees are logging in and what authentication methods they use
• How many Snowflake tenants you have (including shadow tenants and developer instances)
• How data is shared or managed
• What third-party apps are integrated
Nudge Security continuously monitors your Snowflake security posture to surface misconfigurations and risks to your identities, integrations, and data. We prioritize findings by risk level so you can address the most critical ones first. Here are some examples of Snowflake-specific checks:
‍
• Ensure MFA and SSO are enabled
• Customize admin role permissions
• Configure data masking, encryption, retention, and sharing permissions
• Enforce appropriate Cortex Search configuration
Nudge Security breaks down each finding we detect so you can understand why each rule failed and provides a dedicated remediation workflow. We automatically identify who needs to fix the issue, whether that's a Snowflake admin or an end user who needs to enable MFA. You can monitor the complete resolution timeline directly within Nudge Security.
Make sure your Snowflake identities aren’t low-hanging fruit for bad actors. Prevent unauthorized access to your Snowflake data with strong identity governance through Nudge Security:
• Intervene to enforce MFA, SSO, and strong passwords
• Detect overly-permissive roles, including those with Cortex Search access
• Check to ensure the appropriate number of admin accounts
• Find and remove inactive or abandoned accounts
• Streamline employee offboarding, access revocation, and account cleanup
Control what has access to your Snowflake data. Discover the native marketplace apps, API keys, and other integrations and non-human identities that could expose sensitive Snowflake data to unauthorized third-party apps and generative AI services.
Nudge Security also strengthens Snowflake data governance through remediation workflows that manage data retention periods, unloading permissions, data masking, and Cortex search permissions.
