Use Snowflake’s Data Marketplace Offering with SecurityScorecard to leverage up-to-date security data and drive deeper insight into a vendor’s potential risk. Your teams can use this data to monitor their own security posture, enhance analytics, and improve the speed at which they leverage cybersecurity insights.
This offering is meant to enhance any cybersecurity and vendor risk management use case within a Snowflake instance.
