Snowflake's CORTEX Search Service, while powerful, can inadvertently expose sensitive data due to its use of owners' rights instead of callers' rights, allowing users to bypass access controls and masking policies. Misconfigurations can lead to unintended data exposure, highlighting the need for strict adherence to the principle of least privilege in AI services. Cyera offers solutions for protecting sensitive data against these risks.

Snowflake has unveiled its Cortex AI suite, designed to help financial firms deploy AI models while ensuring compliance with regulatory standards. Key features include a managed Model Context Protocol Server for secure data connectivity and tools for data science automation and natural language querying.
