Snowflake SNOW recently launched its new Cybersecurity workload that enables cyber security teams to protect their enterprises within the Data cloud.
Snowflake’s newly launched workload is specifically focused on providing a unified, secure and scalable data platform to aid security teams in identifying cyber-attacks and responding accordingly.
Per Gartner, 81% of organizations have a multi-cloud strategy. Organizations are utilizing cloud services for everything from hosting data centers to enterprise applications.
Concurrent with this rising proliferation of hybrid work environments and rapid growth of the Internet of Things (IoT), cyber threats have also been increasing.
Per Snowflake, who have cited Forrester, 55% of organizations operating in the cloud have experienced security breaches specifically involving supply chains or third-party providers in the past 12 months. This has resulted in a growing demand for securities cloud platforms. Organizations are investing heavily to protect their IT ecosystem.
Consequently, Snowflake has launched the new cyber security workload for the cloud platform in sync with its strategic vision to cater to the growing need for end-to-end security across hybrid multi-cloud environments.
The launch of the recent workload is in line with Snowflake’s strategic focus to enable every single workload required to govern data efficiently, reduce operational complexity and minimize the cost of handling data as data volume is increasing immensely every day.
