How can we possibly secure data when we don’t even know who is using the database? In this session we’ll look at the benefits and pitfalls of database accounts, alternative strategies and why user identity-based data access control is critical for data governance. From there, we’ll show you how to leverage SSO for both MongoDB and Snowflake databases and how you can leverage a user’s identity on each query to protect your critical data assets.
