Obsidian Security announced the successful completion of the Snowflake Ready Technology Validation, and achievement of the Snowflake Partner Network Financial Services Industry Competency. These milestones mark significant progress in Obsidian Security’s product integration and collaboration with Snowflake, the AI Data Cloud company. Through this integration, Obsidian Security customers can strengthen the security of their critical data and applications on the Snowflake AI Data Cloud.
The Snowflake Ready Validation Program recognizes partners that have completed a third-party technical validation to confirm their Snowflake integrations are optimized with an emphasis on functional and performance best practices. Obsidian Security provides identity threat protection and posture management for SaaS and PaaS applications. Through its integration with Snowflake, Obsidian Security will enable joint customers to configure their applications and protect their data in Snowflake to further enhance their ability to conform to compliance standards like NIST and CIS Snowflake Foundations Benchmark best practices.
The Snowflake Partner Network Competency Program validates Snowflake partners for their commitment to driving customer impact across the Data Cloud ecosystem. Obsidian Security protects SaaS and PaaS applications from identity threats and third-party integration risks (including AI applications) and secures data movement between SaaS applications, resulting in automation of SaaS security posture management (SSPM) and compliance. As a Snowflake Premier Partner, Obsidian Security enables shared customers to confidently increase their adoption of the Snowflake AI Data Cloud.
“We have observed sophisticated attackers frequently target organizations through their data stores,” said Iulia Stefoi-Silver, VP Alliances at Obsidian Security. “This collaboration leverages Obsidian Security’s advanced SaaS security solutions to protect customers from these escalating threats.”
The collaboration between Obsidian Security and Snowflake offers customers a streamlined process to better secure their Snowflake environment. Automated workflows for configuring posture controls enable fast and comprehensive adherence to Snowflake’s configuration best practices. In addition to posture management, Obsidian Security’s advanced threat prevention and detection capabilities are more readily available, powered by SaaS security insights enriched from the world’s largest repository of SaaS breach data. Customers also benefit from Obsidian’s seamless integration with security logs in Snowflake’s AI Data Cloud, accelerating incident investigation and response.
“Obsidian Security’s Technology Ready status reflects the company’s continued investment in providing data security solutions to our joint customers,” said Tarik Dwiek, Head of Technology Alliances at Snowflake. “We look forward to continuing to witness Obsidian’s commitment to ensuring a seamless user experience for our joint customers through their SaaS and PaaS posture management and threat prevention and detection solutions.”
“Ensuring the security and availability of our data has become absolutely essential,” said Obsidian Security customer Ravi Chinni, Global Head of Identity and Access Management at S&P Global. “Knowing our data is now better protected on the Snowflake AI Data Cloud with Obsidian Security is a strong endorsement for growing our adoption of Snowflake.”
