Case Study: a leading mortgage firm becomes a business enabler with ALTR

a leading mortgage firm reduces 2,000 Snowflake roles to 20 with ALTR

A leading mortgage firm faced the significant challenge of securing sensitive customer data as it migrated to and proliferated across cloud platforms like Snowflake and analytics tools. The firm's information security team needed to protect this data without becoming a business blocker, aiming instead to enable data-driven insights while complying with stringent financial industry regulations. They turned to ALTR for its automated data access governance and security solution to address this.

ALTR implemented a phased strategy beginning with Snowflake, providing full visibility into data consumption, real-time access control, and alerts fed into a security data lake. The solution was then extended to cover Tableau and other enterprise applications, creating a single pane of glass for data security. This approach by ALTR allowed the security team to become a business enabler, reducing risk while simplifying data access for line-of-business teams. The CISO confirmed that ALTR's scalable solution solved their immediate problem on Snowflake and provided a platform for enterprise-wide data governance.
