DSPM Now Supports Automatic Discovery and Classification in Snowflake Accounts

By Nimrod Iny posted Tue July 22, 2025 09:30 AM

  

We are excited to announce that IBM Guardium Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) has extended its powerful SaaS integration portfolio to include Snowflake—a leading cloud-based data platform for data warehousing and analytics. With this new integration, Guardium DSPM enables autonomous discovery and classification of sensitive data stored within Snowflake accounts.

Why is Snowflake Support Significant?

Snowflake is widely used as a data lake and cloud warehouse solution for modern businesses. With this integration, Guardium DSPM brings holistic observability and control over sensitive data stored in Snowflake environments, helping organizations maintain sovereignty, reduce risk, and streamline compliance.

Automatic Discovery and Classification of Sensitive Data

Guardium DSPM now scans and classifies databases within Snowflake, helping uncover:

  • Personal Identifiable Information (PII)

  • Financial Data

  • Medical and Regulated Information

By automating these processes, organizations save time and gain real-time visibility into where their most sensitive data resides, all without manual effort.

Reduce Data Sprawl and Strengthen Compliance

Sensitive data doesn’t just sit still—it moves. Guardium DSPM monitors and alerts when sensitive data is copied to or from Snowflake, including transfers to other cloud services or SaaS applications. This helps you reduce data sprawl and safeguard data integrity across your ecosystem.

Built for Performance and Security

With Snowflake’s powerful performance and Guardium DSPM’s industry-leading security capabilities, this integration empowers organizations with relational querying, policy-based governance, and scalable security—all with minimal operational overhead.

The addition of Snowflake to Guardium DSPM’s supported platforms marks another step in our commitment to delivering intelligent, automated, and comprehensive data security for today’s hybrid, multicloud environments.
