Snowflake announces Cortex AI Gateway and MCP governance tooling at Black Hat 2026.
Snowflake announced enterprise AI security capabilities at Black Hat 2026, including the Cortex AI Gateway and Cortex tools for MCP governance.
The release covers agent identity controls, so that actions taken by an agent are attributable and scoped, and data exfiltration prevention for AI workloads touching governed data.
MCP governance addresses the growing problem of agents connecting to tool servers without organizational oversight. Snowflake covers how the controls integrate with existing data governance in the platform. The announcement targets enterprises whose AI adoption has outpaced their data controls.
