Our customers have reduced their time-to-value by eight times and lowered the cost of migration by 50 percent. Good stuff! #Informatica #Databricks

Bi-directional data access between Snowflake and Fabric offers an exciting partnership. I assume this brings enhanced interoperability, reduced complexity and costs, increased access to tools and applications, and improved data insights. Excited to hear of any Snowflake announcements at the Summit. #Snowflake

AI is transforming the way we work, but to fully benefit from Generative AI, companies must customize LLMs with their enterprise data. However, feeding sensitive data into externally hosted LLMs poses security risks, and self-hosting LLMs can be operationally complex... Discover how Snowflake Cortex, Streamlit, and Snowpark Container Services (SPCS) can help your organization securely and effortlessly leverage AI for everyday analytics. Plus, you'll be able to build custom apps in minutes using your enterprise data.

Snowflake launched two new features today to help customers use their platform safely. 1) allowing Admins to Enforce Mandatory MFA and 2) the GA launch of Snowflake Trust Center to give a place for admins to monitor the adherence to MFA policies. Mandatory MFA is critical for any SaaS app to be used safely. Password harvesting/reuse/stuffing provides a direct vector to the data that you store in a SaaS app. Glad to see it's coming to Snowflake Their trust center gives admins the flexibility to start their MFA enrollment process with a warning step, or jump right to enforcing MFA for all users. Thank you for releasing this feature for free with all versions. Safety isn't a place for an upsell. If you are a Snowflake admin enable a MFA policy to warn all your users without MFA enabled, and work with your internal stakeholders to set the day when it's mandatory This is great news to see https://lnkd.in/e2DpEV8W
