Managing static credentials and complex role hierarchies remains a leading cause of security incidents and operational fatigue. This 90-minute hands-on lab provides a deep dive into the next generation of Snowflake Identity and Access Management (IAM). Participants will gain hands-on experience with: Secretless connectivity: Configure Workload Identity Federation (WIF) for service-to-service auth without managed keys. Simplified access: Use new improvements to reduce role bloat and enforce least-privilege for AI workloads. Automated posture: Use Trust Center to identify risks and apply one-click remedial actions.

Join us to learn more about network and authentication best practices and how to use Trust Center to continuously audit and monitor your organization's security health. This hands-on lab will guide you through the latest best practices to harden your Snowflake accounts against data exfiltration risks. You'll also learn how to use Snowflake authentication enhancements — some which will be mandatory — and how to improve your migration strategy via customer success stories.

Trust Center is a risk posture management for Snowflake accounts. Trust Center has been a key tool in helping customers migrate to more-secure posture by providing a programmatic framework to verify CIS benchmarks against the Snowflake account, discover users that are not using MFA, drivers that are outdated and many other issues. Join us to see how these new features can solve complex security problems in your account and how our security partners are extending Trust Center functions using native app frameworks.
