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.”
