Protect Customers Data in Snowflake

Case study: Protect Customers Data in Snowflake

ACME’s service relies on advanced analytics to transform how public transportation systems operate into dynamic, on-demand and efficient route planning. That means that multiple teams need access to the central Snowflake data lake and data warehouse.

The challenges in this approach is that maintaining views and role based access control places a huge operational burden on the data and security teams. Read more...

Enable Analytics for Datasets with PII Aware Masking

Case Study: Enable Analytics for Datasets with PII Aware Masking

ACME’s service relies on advanced analytics to provide the service and to monitor business performance. That means that multiple teams need access to a central Snowflake data warehouse and an S3 based data lake.
The traditional way of providing analytics on top of PII is to create a masked copy of the data for analytics that is separated from the raw data.

The challenges in those approaches is that ACME business goals do not allow for slowing down analytics teams. Read more...
