Enterprise Governance

What Good Data Governance Looks Like for a Global Bank

For a firm like Citi — operating across 90+ countries, multiple cloud environments, and dozens of business lines — the catalog layer is foundational. It needs to be open, flexible, and genuinely enterprise-certified today, not just on a roadmap.

Snowflake Horizon is built around exactly these principles: full Iceberg interoperability, AI-native governance, and the enterprise security certifications already running in production at Citi.

Principle 01

Open formats preserve long-term architectural flexibility

Snowflake Horizon supports full Iceberg read and write — your data stays portable across any cloud and any compute layer, with no proprietary format required. Catalog federation lets Horizon govern external tables without forcing migration.
Principle 02

Enterprise AI should run inside your data perimeter — not alongside it

Cortex AI executes inference directly inside Snowflake — no data movement, no separate ML platform to certify, no new security boundary to manage. At Citi, the certifications are already in place and AI capability is available today.
Principle 03

Open standards support long-term architectural control

Snowflake is built on open APIs, open table formats, and catalog federation — so Citi retains full architectural control over its data estate. Your existing investments are complemented, not displaced.

The Snowflake Advantage

Open. Certified. AI-Native.

Three reasons the world's largest banks are choosing Snowflake as their enterprise data standard — and why the architecture matters more than the compute engine.

Open Catalog with Full Iceberg Interoperability

Snowflake Horizon supports full Iceberg read and write — your data remains portable across any cloud and any compute layer, with no proprietary format required. Catalog federation lets Horizon govern external tables without forcing migration, and open APIs ensure no architectural dead ends.

Enterprise Certifications Already in Place

Tri-Secret Secure key management, PrivateLink network isolation, column-level masking, row-level access policies, and Dynamic Data Masking are all certified and operational at Citi today. Enterprise security capabilities are live — not on a roadmap.

AI That Runs Inside Your Data Perimeter

Cortex AI executes inference directly inside Snowflake — no data leaves the secure perimeter to reach a separate ML platform. Cortex Agents, Snowflake Intelligence, and MCP integrations are already in production at Tier 1 banks. One platform, one certification, full AI capability from day one.
