Snowflake enables Trust Center AI Security scanner by default

Snowflake introduced a secure by default approach for scanner package management in the Trust Center. For eligible accounts, the AI Security scanner package is enabled automatically as soon as AI feature usage is detected, provided it has never been manually disabled.

Use cases

Imagine your organization uses AI features and needs to ensure security and compliance without manual scanner setup.

• Automatic activation of the AI scanner when AI usage is detected.
• Continuous security monitoring without upfront configuration.
• Flexibility to disable the package or the secure by default setting at any time.

Limitations and requirements

Available only for accounts on Business Critical or Virtual Private Snowflake (VPS) editions with a capacity contract. The automatically enabled package incurs serverless compute costs identical to manually enabled packages.
