Case Study: a leading mortgage firm achieves enterprise-wide data governance and security with ALTR

Security Becomes a Business Enabler at this Leading Mortgage Firm

A leading financial services provider specializing in mortgages faced the challenge of securing sensitive customer data as it proliferated across cloud platforms and analytics tools. While migrating to and consolidating data on Snowflake, the firm needed to protect its information without creating onerous security roadblocks that would stifle data-driven initiatives. They turned to ALTR for a data governance and security solution to manage this risk and enable the business rather than block it.

ALTR implemented a three-phase strategy that began with gaining visibility and control over data within Snowflake, then expanded to cover data access via Tableau, and finally extended governance to enterprise applications and on-premises datastores. The solution provided a single pane of glass for monitoring data usage, integrated real-time alerts into a security data lake, and automated policy enforcement. For the customer, ALTR transformed security from an obstacle into a business enabler, standardizing data access roles and positioning the firm as a leader in financial services data governance.
