The Acante team and our customers are celebrating the release of the first-ever AI copilot built on top of Snowflake, that radically simplifies and automates access governance processes and workflows. 

Access governance and compliance have emerged as the barriers to adoption of modern data platforms. The operational costs of data privacy and compliance activities continue to grow into millions of dollars. They have become a major bottleneck consuming precious cycles from platform teams and slowing down data & AI initiatives. 

So much critical PII, PHI and SOX-related data resides in large Snowflake deployments, powering analytics for value-based healthcare, financial analysis, emerging AI product capabilities, financial reporting needs. Acante’s automation will bring tremendous operational savings for data and security teams in their quest to ensure trusted, privacy-aware, and compliant use of critical and sensitive data. 

Acante’s intelligent, copilot-driven workflows automate laborious data compliance reporting activities, significantly reducing the risk of data breach and privacy-related fines, and dramatically speeding up the provisioning of data access and privacy controls for enterprises using Snowflake’s AI Data Cloud.

According to Acante’s VP of Engineering and co-founder, Abhishek Das, “AI agents and copilots are transforming almost every domain.  Acante is leveraging this technology to address the critical and pervasive challenge facing enterprise data and AI leaders today: the need for comprehensive data access governance and security, especially in light of the new data privacy and compliance mandates.”

For Snowflake users, the Acante partnership and integration delivers an intuitive, intelligent, and autonomous access governance solution that enhances the ease of use and trust in their underlying data cloud. The offering includes:

  • End-to-end compliance:  Out-of-the-box library of guardrails and reporting workflows for safe and compliant data access, data use and data sharing 
  • Automated access audit and analysis:  Streamlined, precise and effective data entitlement reviews 
  • Access & privacy control workflows:  Copilot-guided, fast and secure processes to request, approve and provision access to data, tightly integrated into the collaboration toolchains our customers use most, such as Slack, Teams, Jira and ServiceNow. 
  • AI & ML data governance guardrails to prevent overexposure of sensitive data

Acante’s simple and intuitive natural language interface empowers even non-SQL power users. Customers can easily and consistently implement the latest and fine-grained governance controls from Snowflake without any learning curve, further empowering them to maximize the value of their data in Snowflake.
