Wiz Snowflake Connector Reaches General Availability with Data and Threat Security Features
Summary
Wiz’s Snowflake Connector is generally available, extending its platform to scan for sensitive data, monitor activity, assess permissions and configurations, and correlate risks in Snowflake environments.
Key points
- Wiz says the connector brings Snowflake into the same security workflows customers use for other cloud environments.
- Its data security capabilities scan Snowflake for sensitive information, including PII, PHI, and PCI data.
- Near-real-time monitoring of Snowflake access logs is intended to help teams identify and investigate suspicious activity.
- Permission analysis provides visibility into Snowflake roles, grants, users, and effective access to data.
- Configuration scans use CIS Snowflake benchmarks and flag issues such as inactive accounts and password-based authentication without MFA.
- Wiz says its Security Graph correlates data, identity, and configuration risks to highlight combinations that could expose sensitive data.
