Case Study: Snowflake boosts developer productivity with Beyond Identity Secure DevOps

Snowflake cuts developer onboarding from ~1 hour to near-zero with Beyond Identity

Snowflake, a data cloud company, faced the challenge of securing its software development lifecycle without slowing down its developers. They needed to move beyond static SSH keys to properly validate developer identity and meet strict compliance demands, all while maintaining a frictionless experience for their engineering teams. To address this, they turned to Beyond Identity and its Secure DevOps product.

By implementing Beyond Identity Secure DevOps, Snowflake cryptographically bound developer identities to trusted devices, creating a verified chain of custody for every code commit. This solution delivered significant results: it saved an estimated thousands of engineering hours annually by reducing security onboarding from one hour to near-zero, achieved verified signed commits across all in-scope repositories, and provided a full audit trail for compliance. Beyond Identity enabled Snowflake to meaningfully reduce static credential risk and revoke access in real-time.
