Immuta Unveils Platform Updates to Simplify Data Security and Monitoring in Snowflake

Immuta Unveils Platform Updates to Simplify Data Security

Immuta, a data security leader, today announced at Snowflake’s annual user conference, Snowflake Summit 2023, the launch of its latest platform enhancements to deliver simplified data security and monitoring in Snowflake so that joint customers can unlock more value, reduce costs, and speed up innovation. These new features include strengthened data mesh support, enhanced security for AI workloads in Snowpark, and advanced Data Security Posture Management (DSPM).

The partnership between Immuta and Snowflake continues to have strong momentum, fueled by the growing adoption of their solutions at organizations across industries, including JB Hunt, Roche, and Thomson Reuters. In the last year, Snowflake has awarded Immuta with competency recognitions in the Healthcare & Life Sciences and Financial Services sectors. Earlier this week at Snowflake Summit, Immuta was also presented with the prestigious Data Security Partner of the Year Award by Snowflake.

"Immuta has been pivotal in mitigating risk and optimizing operational efficiencies, allowing us to support self-service analytics and distributed data stewardship. We are innovating more and worrying less about security," said Paul Rankin, Head of Data Management Platforms at Roche.

“As data volumes and AI-initiatives expand in the cloud, and more data teams adopt data mesh architectures, so too does the attack and risk surface,” said Steve Touw, CTO, Immuta. “As we extend our leadership in the data security category, we continue to collaborate with Snowflake to ensure our joint users can access their data securely at scale and continuously monitor usage to ensure security and compliance.”

Securely Deploy New Data Products With Data Mesh

Data mesh architectures promote decentralized data ownership to facilitate data management and help data owners build scalable and secure data-as-a-service products. However, the decentralized nature of a data mesh makes consistent data access control and policy enforcement difficult for organizations to manage at scale.

Data mesh relies on four key pillars – domain-centric ownership and architecture, data-as-a-product, self-service data platform, and federated computational governance. Immuta’s built-in support for federated governance enhances Snowflake’s data governance capabilities to include scoping permissions through logical domain separation. Immuta’s support for data-as-a-product allows for granular permissioning of roles within individual data domains, and helps data owners securely innovate, build and deploy new data products, while eliminating centralized IT bottlenecks and accelerating their data mesh vision.

Enhanced Security for AI Workloads in Snowpark

Organizations are leveraging AI and ML to build advanced data science solutions for fraud detection, sentiment analysis, next-best-offer, predictive maintenance, and more. These solutions access a variety of data with speed and organizations must ensure the data is protected and in compliance with usage requirements. By leveraging Immuta, organizations can now enforce access controls and maintain compliance to effectively safeguard their data and AI workloads accessed via Snowpark.

Advanced Data Security Posture Management with Immuta Detect

Data is more available and distributed than ever, however the likelihood of a data breach is also at an all time high. In response, Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) has emerged as a new category of solutions aimed at discovering and mapping data flows and repositories to address new cloud data security and privacy challenges.

Immuta Detect, now available to Snowflake customers, provides timely insights into data access, user activity and data controls, enabling data security posture management and risk remediation with the Immuta Data Security Platform. Users can now view a continuous data security posture management dashboard that shows a concise overview of data access insights, increasing awareness of attack indicators and risk vectors so that security teams can take action to improve data security. In addition, Immuta’s new Dynamic Query Classification (DQC) automatically classifies queries according to content and sensitivity level to provide security teams with better insight into what sensitive data is being accessed from unanticipated data combinations that are breaching confidentiality and potentially being exfiltrated.

“Customers rely on Snowflake to maximize the value of their data, and to do so they’re building new architectures like data mesh and supporting new use cases using AI. To accomplish these initiatives, the data must be secured and security teams must have visibility into how the data is used in order to ensure compliance,” said Tarik Dwiek, Head of Technology Alliances at Snowflake. “Immuta is a key data security partner, and we’re thrilled to work with them as they roll out these new capabilities to provide great customer experiences.”

Keeper Security Protects Against Supply Chain Attacks with New Open Source Project

PR Newswire | October 20, 2023

Keeper Security, the leading provider of zero-trust and zero-knowledge cybersecurity software protecting passwords, passkeys, privileged access, secrets and remote connections, today announces a new open source project for software developers and DevOps to easily and securely sign git commits with their Keeper vault. Through Keeper Secrets Manager (KSM), users can now use Secure Shell (SSH) keys stored in their Keeper Vault to digitally sign commits to confirm the authenticity of their code. Git is a version control system that tracks changes in your software projects, and a git commit is a snapshot of these changes at a specific point in time, accompanied by a brief message describing the modifications. Keeper and developers at The Migus Group teamed up to create the open-source solution to sign git commits using the SSH keys stored in a user's Keeper Vault. The integration provides developers with a secure and encrypted repository for their SSH keys and removes the practice of storing them on disk, both increasing security and streamlining DevOps workflows. The rise in software supply chain attacks highlights the need for organizations to prioritize security around the software supply chain. Signing git commits is a recommended best practice for developers to confirm the authenticity and integrity of code releases. As developers sign commits with SSH keys, they are provided with cryptographic proof of authorship, which helps secure the supply chain by assuring users the software originates from a legitimate source and remains unaltered since its signing. Digital signatures can also feed into a Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) to indicate whether a line-item in the SBOM is trusted, depending on the code signature status. The ability to store SSH keys and other credentials in Keeper Vault offers a layer of protection and ease-of-use that hasn't been the standard, said Craig Lurey, CTO and Co-founder of Keeper Security. Our integration enables developers to validate the software code with a cryptographic digital signature and transparent logging, making what historically has been a complex process into a simple one. In the future, all code will be signed, and the software supply chain will have one source of truth that will reduce supply chain attacks. "Our customers are asking for help insulating themselves from supply chain attacks, so we were already working to do that, often using Keeper," said Adam Migus, Founder and CEO of The Migus Group. "So, we thought working with them to make the git commit-signing process both safer and easier would be a win-win-win. Our customers can now seamlessly sign commits with keys that never leave their vaults. However, the broader community also gains an example of secure commit signing with benefits of central key management." The SSH keys for signing commits are secured in KSM, a fully managed cloud-based, zero-knowledge platform for securing infrastructure secrets such as API keys, database passwords, SSH keys, certificates and any type of confidential data. KSM eliminates secrets sprawl by removing hard-coded credentials from source code, config files and CI/CD systems. The fully managed, cloud-based and IT friendly solution was named an overall leader on the 2023 KuppingerCole Leadership Compass for Secrets Management. KSM is supported on Windows, MacOS and Linux. It utilizes a zero-knowledge security architecture and is highly secure withISO 27001 and SOC 2 compliance, as well as FedRAMP and StateRAMP Authorization, among numerous other certifications. Keeper's integration helps support a broader government and industry effort to bring increased security and visibility to the open source community. The ease of providing a cryptographic digital signature allows developers to validate that the software in use is exactly what it is claiming to be and enhances security for both developers and end-users alike. About Keeper Security Keeper Security is transforming cybersecurity for organizations around the world with next-generation privileged access management. Keeper's zero-trust and zero-knowledge cybersecurity solutions are FedRAMP and StateRAMP Authorized, FIPS 140-2 validated, as well as SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certified.
