Take part in evaluating the latest data security capabilities for protecting Snowflake and AWS S3 datastores

We are looking for candidates to take part in our upcoming Cloud Data Security Beta, to be held from February 6 to February 28, 2024. 

The program will evaluate the product capabilities of the new Data Security module and is focused on the following use cases in Snowflake and AWS S3 Datastores:

Where is my data?	Discover all data stores and data entities  Classification of sensitive data in the data stores
Who is accessing my data?	Understand which users, roles and applications are accessing your data and who have access to PII data.
Exfiltration attempt detection	Detect attempts to exfiltrate data and provide event correlation and diagnostics to remediate it using Generative AI technologies
Detect unused and siloed data assets	Detect siloed (unused) data entities, dormant users, and unencrypted buckets
Shrink Wrap Access Controls	Detect unused privileges and enable least privilege access on your data stores.

Interested? Read on for the requirements and onboarding process. 

Beta Requirements 

Qualified participants are Cisco AppDynamics customers who meet the following criteria for either Snowflake, or AWS S3 Object Store: 

Cloud Data Security Beta program Snowflake Deployment Requirements
Database Role	Create a new role or use an existing role that has read access to “snowflake.account_usage” views.
Database User	Create a new user or use an existing user that is assigned to the above database role
Warehouse	Create a new warehouse or use an existing warehouse to run the queries—preferably of “medium” size. The above role should have access to this warehouse. Creating a new warehouse is recommended as it helps monitor the snowflake costs to use this solution.
Network Access	Network access from COP to Snowflake instance. Whitelist IP addresses of COP to allow collectors on COP to create SQL connections to execute SQL queries.
Optional	To enable data classification based on data in the tables, this role should have read access to those tables.

Cloud Data Security Beta program AWS S3 Object Store Requirements
Access	At a minimum, ListObjects access to S3 buckets
Privileges	• Privilege to run Athena queries • Privilege to access Macie Findings
