Fortanix for Snowflake
Secure your sensitive Snowflake data and achieve privacy compliance with external data tokenization as a service.

Overview
With increasing incidents of data breaches being reported, organizations come under more intensive scrutiny from government regulators and authorities concerned. They are subject to regulations like PCI DSS, HIPAA, GDPR, Schrems II etc. As organizations scale, it is critical to ensure that the sensitive data is protected and meets these compliance requirements.
Data Tokenization allows customers to secure their most sensitive data by masking it. But data tokenization has traditionally been a solution for larger enterprise that can afford the high implementation cost and ongoing licensing.

Fortanix Solution
Fortanix offers a robust, cloud-native data security solution that integrates rapidly with Snowflake—deploying in minutes to enable tokenized data ingestion in under 5 minutes. Its REST API-driven architecture ensures seamless integration with modern data flows, supporting public and hybrid cloud environments. Vaultless tokenization, backed by FIPS 140-2 Level 3 certified HSMs, eliminates the need for centralized token databases while enabling format-preserving protection for custom data types like SSNs or emails. Granular access controls and advanced data masking further secure sensitive data. Additionally, Fortanix integrates with Keyfactor Command to automate certificate lifecycle management and protect private keys at scale, enhancing visibility, control, and operational simplicity across all environments.
