Unlocking the Power of Data Visibility: Rubrik’s Integration with Snowflake Trust Center

In today's digital landscape, enterprises face the challenge of managing vast, complex data environments, especially within platforms like Snowflake. As organizations grow, gaining a clear understanding of where sensitive data resides and who has access to it becomes increasingly difficult, raising security and compliance risks. To address these challenges, Rubrik is developing a powerful integration with the Snowflake Trust Center, designed to enable organizations to achieve deeper visibility into their data. This integration aims not only to map an organization's Snowflake environment down to the column level but also to enable them to minimize access to sensitive data, drive data masking and help manage compliance of data with industry requirements to deliver insights into data classification and access controls, and ensure sensitive information is identified, secured, and compliant with industry regulations.

What is the Snowflake Trust Center?

The Snowflake Trust Center is a platform designed to help organizations evaluate and monitor their Snowflake accounts for potential security risks. It offers a suite of scanner packages that assess account configurations against established security benchmarks, providing actionable insights and remediation recommendations. By enabling features such as multi-factor authentication (MFA) enforcement, identifying over-privileged roles, and detecting inactive users, the Trust Center empowers customers to proactively strengthen their security posture. This proactive approach is crucial in safeguarding sensitive data, ensuring compliance with industry standards, and maintaining trust in the integrity of the Snowflake environment.

How the Rubrik Integration is Designed

The integration between Rubrik and Snowflake Trust Center aims to simplify data security and governance. Once a Snowflake account is connected to Rubrik, the integration is designed to provide customers access to a full and continuous mapping of their databases and schemas, along with deep insights into the types of data stored across their environments - all within the Trust Center. This includes:

• Full Visibility: Rubrik to provide a detailed inventory of all data stored in Snowflake, down to specific columns, allowing organizations to understand what data they have and where it is located.

• Data Classification: Rubrik's platform to identify sensitive information, such as personally identifiable information (PII) and financial records, to ensure it is appropriately managed.

Enhancing Cyber Resilience Through Trust Center Integration

Snowflake's Trust Center acts as a centralized hub for monitoring data security, compliance, and governance across an organization's Snowflake environment. Rubrik's integration with Trust Center is designed to ensure that data classification findings are seamlessly fed into the Trust Center dashboard, allowing customers to:

1. Gain a Unified View of Data Risks: Enable organizations to visualize their data security posture directly within the Snowflake Trust Center. This consolidated view helps teams prioritize and address potential risks quickly.

2. Streamline Data Management: Streamline management of business requirements by automatically classifying sensitive data. Classification is consistent across your entire data estate, so rules apply not only to your Snowflake data but also across M365, on-premises databases and more. This helps organizations adapt their data management with evolving regulatory requirements like GDPR and CCPA.

3. Optimize Data Security Policies: With detailed data classification and visibility, implement more effective data segmentation and masking policies to protect sensitive information from unauthorized access.

4. Optimize Data Access Control: By utilizing classification results, streamline data access reviews, and minimize user access to sensitive data.

Maximize Your Snowflake Investment

The Rubrik-Snowflake integration is more than just a technological enhancement; it's a strategic move to simplify data governance and fortify cyber resilience. By leveraging Snowflake's robust marketplace, Rubrik customers will be able to purchase through Snowflake, taking advantage of quota retirements that reduce their overall Snowflake commitment. This alignment offers tangible financial benefits while delivering robust security enhancements.

As enterprises continue to shift towards data-first strategies, ensuring that data remains secure, compliant, and easily accessible is paramount. Rubrik's integration with Snowflake Trust Center aims not only to provide the visibility needed to achieve these goals but also to position organizations to better manage their data security posture in an increasingly complex regulatory landscape.

In an era where data is both a critical asset and a potential liability, Rubrik's integration with the Snowflake Trust Center is designed to be a game-changer for organizations looking to enhance their data security and governance. By providing deep insights into data stored in Snowflake, Rubrik aims to empower enterprises to take control of their data, protect sensitive information, and build a resilient security posture.
