Snowflake Ventures Invests in Veza to Simplify Identity Security

Identity security and access governance are critical functions for corporate security teams, but they often require significant time and resources to manage at scale. Access governance is particularly important for enterprises working with large volumes of sensitive data, as they must remain compliant with an evolving landscape of data security and privacy regulations. For large enterprises that may be onboarding dozens of employees per week, provisioning access can be a complicated and time-consuming exercise — with serious consequences if done incorrectly.

With our investment in Veza, an identity security platform, Snowflake customers will be able to simplify employee onboarding and access provisioning. Veza for Snowflake enables customers to enable least privilege access to sensitive data, identify and alert on key identity risks, and simplify access controls. Snowflake, along with global enterprises in the financial services industry, use Veza for identity governance administration, visibility and security.

Snowflake customers can quickly access the Veza platform through Snowflake Marketplace. When used together, Veza and Snowflake combine powerful identity data with Snowflake’s core governance data for more powerful insights and visualizations. Veza enables users to ingest and visualize Snowflake governance data within its own access graph and reports — including row access, projection and aggregation policies — alongside native data classification, masking policies and access history. For security teams, Veza integrates with Snowflake’s native access request workflows to streamline access management, automate role recommendations through ServiceNow and provide a unified view within the Snowflake Trust Center.

Veza provides corporate security teams with a holistic view of access privileges not only within Snowflake but across all applications, data systems and cloud infrastructure. This visibility enables enterprises of all sizes to answer “Who has access to what?” and minimize the risk of potential breaches. Leading enterprises trust Veza and Snowflake to support compliance requirements, particularly in highly regulated industries like financial services. 

Through the expanded partnership, Veza will leverage Snowflake Cortex AI, Snowflake’s fully managed AI service, to enhance AI-powered features, including Veza’s Access AI. Snowflake and Veza will continue to work together to develop and deliver expanded access governance and security capabilities for the Snowflake platform.
