AUSTIN, Texas, April 8, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- ALTR, the leading
provider of advanced data security for data-driven enterprises,
today announced strong customer momentum following the recent
availability of its ALTR Cloud Integration for Snowflake, the Data
Cloud company. With the integration, ALTR enabled the market's
first native cloud platform delivering observability, governance,
and protection of sensitive data with advanced data security on
Snowflake. Recent customers leveraging the Snowflake and ALTR
integration include HumanN, The Zebra, and Q2 Holdings, Inc., who
is expanding their ALTR footprint as they re-platform parts of
their on-premise infrastructure to Snowflake's data platform in the
cloud.
With many organizations racing to move data discovery, access,
analytics, and sharing to cloud environments such as Snowflake,
they are increasingly looking for modern approaches to govern and
protect their data. ALTR is the first and only cloud-native
security solution designed to stop and prevent credentialed threats
to data in Snowflake by detecting and responding to abnormal
consumption of data. With the ALTR Cloud Integration for Snowflake,
new ALTR customers HumanN, The Zebra, and Q2 Holdings will leverage
ALTR to identify sensitive data in Snowflake, detect and stop data
breaches relating to stolen or misused credentials, and extend
role-based access controls into the next generation by placing
policy over data, rather than the user.
"ALTR's vision is to enable unified, secure control of data
across enterprises and our cloud integration with Snowflake
provides a simple, powerful and unique approach to governance and
protection," said Dave Sikora, CEO
at ALTR. "As further validation of our platform, we're proud to
work with these leaders across a range of industries – from
consumer-packaged goods with HumanN to online insurance with The
Zebra to financial services with Q2 – who have chosen to partner
with ALTR to help address a common strategic imperative of
innovating in the cloud while mitigating the real risks of sharing
and analyzing sensitive data."
"Through their recent native cloud integration with Snowflake's
platform, ALTR's approach to providing visibility into data
activity in Snowflake's Data Cloud is providing a solution for
customers who need to defend against security threats," said
Omer Singer, Head of Cybersecurity
Strategy at Snowflake. "We're excited to see the recent momentum
from ALTR as our joint customers expand their use of sensitive data
in the cloud."
Q2, a large, growing digital transformation technology company
that provides digital banking and lending solutions to financial
institutions, has used ALTR to protect sensitive data in
operational databases since 2019. Q2 Trustview, powered by ALTR, is
now helping more than 450 Q2 enterprise banking customers and over
17 million end users with unmatched data security. Q2 is migrating
parts of its on-premise data workload to the Snowflake Data Cloud
and will be expanding its use of the ALTR platform to secure that
data.
"Our success with ALTR powering Q2 Trustview over the past
several years has continued to prove it is the most advanced data
governance and protection technology on the market", said
Lou Senko, Chief Availability
Officer at Q2. "The simplicity and ease of ALTR's integration with
Snowflake is compelling. We're excited to be extending our
relationship with ALTR as we migrate Q2's own business data to the
Snowflake Data Cloud."
HumanN is a health supplement company headquartered in
Austin, Texas. Working with the
ALTR platform, HumanN's team was able to discover, identify and
classify sensitive PII data within Snowflake's Data Cloud and take
steps to quantify and mitigate its risk with third parties and
privacy regulations.
"As a company that is focused on providing consumers with
functional foods and supplements to enrich their lives, maintaining
a secure platform for our customer data is vital to ensuring their
trust," said Joel Kocher, CEO of
HumanN. "By incorporating the superior ALTR platform and its
cloud-native integration with Snowflake, we are confident we can
innovate with the sensitive data in our systems while mitigating
the risk of credentialed security threats."
