Snowflake: Where cloud, data visibility and security go hand in hand

[shukla7789]

The almost 100% digital context combined with the growing threats from cybercriminals makes it essential to seek solutions such as those offered by Snowflake
Since everything is interconnected and, more so, since almost everything is in the cloud, the issue of data security is a central concern for IT managers and also for the boards of directors of organizations. This is so much so that in a survey by Heidrick & Streuggles, specialists in personnel selection, 60% of the CISOs interviewed (Chief Information Security Officers) said stress was the greatest risk they face; more than half also referred to exhaustion.


An urgent problem
Indeed, cloud cybersecurity is a multi-faceted problem and experts are overwhelmed. External attacks are constant and on different fronts: networks, email, databases, system access… to which are added growing difficulties generated internally or by linked third parties: software developers with backdoors , equipment suppliers with bugs , cloud platforms with deficiencies.

Security teams need fast, simple, modern and effective ways to skype database cybercriminals before attacks are carried out. One of the current trends is the idea of ​​the security data lake , especially associated with data management in the cloud, as an ecosystem specially designed to contain all the data and there be able to cure it , work with it and take advantage of it.

New call to action



According to Verizon’s 2022 Data Breach Investigations Report, the time from an attacker’s first action in a chain of events to that attack compromising an organizational asset is typically measured in minutes, while the time required to discover and analyze the attack is typically measured in days, weeks, months, or even years.

The flip side of this situation is that the dynamics of today's business require maximum visibility of data in the cloud, in terms of exposure to multiple systems, accessibility, integration and utilization.
