Snowflake Inc. is trying to get its clients to impose stronger security controls as companies including Advanced Auto Parts Inc. and Live Nation Entertainment Inc. investigate potential data breaches.
The cloud-based data analytics firm has said that hackers were targeting some of its customers’ accounts and had used either information-stealing malware or purchased credentials in an attempt to breach users that didn’t have multifactor authentication set up. In a Friday blog, the company said it’s developing a plan that would require customers to take advanced security measures such as establishing MFA, which requires someone to verify their identity in two or more ways.
