At the Snowflake Summit 2026 user conference, AI security platform Cyera announced expanded integrations with Snowflake aimed at helping enterprises safely scale their AI agents with full data visibility and granular control. By combining Cyera’s advanced data discovery and classification capabilities with Snowflake’s robust data cloud, the partnership addresses the growing enterprise pressure to deploy Snowflake Cortex AI agents without risking exposure of sensitive organizational data. Key integration milestones include the general availability of Snowflake Access Governance for one-click column-level remediation and tag-based dynamic masking, the private preview of Cyera AI Guardian to inventory and map sensitive data accessed by Cortex services, and the general availability of natural-language risk analysis through Snowflake Cortex Analyst. Highlighting the critical balancing act for modern businesses, Amy Kodl, SVP, Worldwide Alliances & Channels at Snowflake, remarked, “Security and data leaders are under enormous pressure to accelerate AI adoption without losing control of their competitive edge – their data. With Cyera, our customers can discover and protect sensitive data, gain visibility into how AI agents operate on Snowflake, and apply governance controls in real time, enabling faster adoption of Snowflake Cortex AI.” This collaborative solution bridges the gap between fast-paced AI innovation and strict data protection pipelines, offering automated, non-disruptive compliance tracking across expansive data estates.

Validating the real-world impact of the partnership, Jason Westingskow, Director of Analytics at OneDigital, shared, “Cyera gives us clear visibility into sensitive data in Snowflake today, so we can understand risk and prioritize protection with confidence. We’re excited about what Snowflake Access Governance enables when paired with Cyera’s data intelligence bringing sensitivity context into governance decisions to help scale consistent access controls across the business.” Ultimately, the joint initiative transforms traditional security bottlenecks into acceleration engines, allowing organizations to securely capitalize on agentic workflows. Reaffirming this security-first framework, Jason Clark, Chief Strategy Officer at Cyera, emphasized, “Every CISO and CDO I talk to is being asked the same question: how do we move faster on AI without losing control of our data? Snowflake is the foundation for enterprise AI, and our expanded partnership ensures that foundation is secure by design. With Cyera, joint customers can see every Cortex AI agent, understand exactly what data it touches, and govern access at the column level, turning data security into the engine that accelerates AI adoption.”
