Cybersecurity Risk Management Processes for Assessing, Identifying, and Managing Threats [Text Block]
We have implemented and maintain a cybersecurity program designed to identify, assess, and manage material risks from cybersecurity threats to (i) our information systems and data, which include critical computer networks, third-party hosted services, communications systems, hardware and software, and (ii) critical data, including our intellectual property, confidential information that is proprietary, strategic or competitive in nature, and our customers’, vendors’, and partners’ data. Our cybersecurity program includes an information security policy, access management policies, supply chain policies (which include open-source security review procedures), and security incident response processes, in addition to the secure design and vendor management programs described below. For a description of the risks from cybersecurity threats that may materially affect us, see the risk factor titled “We, our customers, or third-party service providers have in the past and may in the future experience an actual or perceived security breach, unauthorized access to data, or unintended operation of our products. If any such event occurs, our products may be perceived as not being secure, our reputation may be harmed, demand for our products may be reduced, and we may incur significant liabilities.” in the section titled “Risk Factors” included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Our information systems generally fall into two categories: our platform and our corporate systems. Each category has dedicated teams and processes in place to address cybersecurity risk, and both our product security team and our enterprise security team report into our Chief Security and Trust Officer as a single, integrated security organization within Snowflake. Our product security team works alongside our product and engineering teams to address how security is designed into our platform. Our enterprise security team, led by our Chief Information Security Officer, is responsible for the secure design of our corporate systems. In addition, our Chief Information Security Officer manages a global security team that performs certain cybersecurity functions for both our platform and corporate systems, including certification management, incident response, threat detection, analytics, and offensive security (such as simulations and penetration tests).

We actively monitor our threat environment for cybersecurity threats using various methods, including automated detection tools, scans of the threat environment, investigations of potential threats we discover or that are reported to us, and reports and services that identify threats. We monitor our information systems for vulnerabilities using internal and third-party penetration testing, intelligence feeds, and vulnerability databases. We also have a bug bounty program.

Our security teams work with management to prioritize our risk management processes and mitigate cybersecurity threats, including those that may materially impact our business. Our assessment and management of material risks from cybersecurity threats is a key risk area within our enterprise risk management program. Our Chief Security and Trust Officer, Chief Information Security Officer, and SVP, Engineering and Support are responsible for management of cybersecurity risk under our enterprise risk management program, and senior management and the audit committee of our board of directors receive reports on key risks and the effectiveness of our management of such enterprise risks. In addition, key cybersecurity risks are assessed as part of our internal audit program. We have completed various security audits and certifications, including SOC 2 Type II, SOC 1 Type II, PCI-DSS, HITRUST, FedRAMP High, and ISO/IEC 27001. We also employ a shared responsibility cybersecurity model where our customers are responsible for using and configuring our platform in a manner that meets applicable cybersecurity standards and requirements. As part of this shared responsibility cybersecurity model, customers have sole responsibility for creating and securing the access credentials in their possession for our platform.
Our platform and corporate systems involve the use of third-party technology or service providers, or vendors, such as hosting platforms, open-source software, and application providers. We also use vendors to assist us from time to time to identify, assess, and manage material risks from cybersecurity threats to our platform and corporate systems, including consulting firms, external legal counsel, incident response vendors, penetration test providers, auditors, monitoring technology, and cybersecurity data providers. We have a vendor management program under which our enterprise security, product security, and legal teams evaluate cybersecurity risks presented by our use of vendors. Depending on the nature of the technology or services provided, the sensitivity of the information systems and data at issue, and the identity of the vendor, our vendor management process may involve different levels of assessment designed to help identify cybersecurity risks. For vendors that may pose higher risks, this process includes a vendor security questionnaire, an evaluation of the vendor’s security program and security documentation, and the imposition of contractual obligations related to cybersecurity on the vendor. All vendors are required to undergo this process, which is in addition to the applicable security reviews that may be conducted by our product security and enterprise security teams described above.

Cybersecurity Risk Board of Directors Oversight [Text Block] Our board of directors has formed a cybersecurity committee to assist it in fulfilling its oversight responsibility with respect to the management of cybersecurity risks related to our products and services as well as our information technology and network systems. The responsibilities of the cybersecurity committee include overseeing our implementation and maintenance of cybersecurity measures, data governance, compliance with applicable information security laws, and overseeing disclosure controls relating to cybersecurity. The cybersecurity committee receives reports from management concerning our significant cybersecurity threats and risk and the processes we have implemented to address them and has access to various reports, summaries or presentations related to cybersecurity threats, risk, and mitigation. In addition, the audit committee of our board of directors has oversight responsibility over our internal financial controls and our enterprise risk management program. Finally, management periodically provides cybersecurity briefings to the entire board of directors.
