Google Cloud

Unconfirmed
SaaS apps
Partial

Questions for the vendor

  1. Is the proposed Snowflake scanner a native app or a sidecar in your AWS account?
  2. Which findings can trigger a native access change rather than a notification or ticket?
  3. List scan, snapshot and warehouse compute charges outside the subscription.
