NEW YORK – December 5, 2023 — SecurityScorecard today announced that it has been recognized as one to watch in the Data Enrichment category in the inaugural report, The Next Generation of Cybersecurity Applications, executed and launched by Snowflake, the Data Cloud company.
Snowflake’s data-backed report identifies leading Powered by Snowflake cybersecurity applications and datasets that are utilized by customers across the Snowflake Data Cloud ecosystem. Snowflake identified five technology categories that security teams may consider when building their cybersecurity strategy by analyzing usage patterns of all Powered by Snowflake cybersecurity applications and Snowflake Marketplace datasets as of July 2023. The extensive research shows how customers are adopting cybersecurity solutions that connect to their Snowflake security data lake and the increased need for an open-ecosystem architecture that enables secure data sharing. The report also showcases how cybersecurity applications that are Powered by Snowflake leverage the Data Cloud to build AI/ML features. The five categories include:
- Security Information and Event Management (SIEM)
- Cloud Security
- Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC)
- Data Enrichment
- Emerging Segments
Focusing on companies that are active members of the Snowflake Partner Network or are Snowflake Marketplace providers, the report explores each of the categories that security teams need to be successful in protecting their organizations.
