How it Works?
Summary
Customers moving sensitive data and workloads from their on-prem environments to the cloud can tokenize this data sitting in the cloud instance before ingesting it to Snowflake.
Snowflake does not encrypt the data until the data is inside the Snowflake application. The data can be secured using the Fortanix DSM for cloud environments.
Once the data is tokenized inside the cloud, it’s ingested into Snowflake. Customers can then provide specific user-based control to the tokenized data.
