Snowflake has acquired Natoma: a startup that ensures companies can easily manage AI agent permissions across various systems and applications.
Snowflake has signed a definitive agreement to acquire startup Natoma. With Natoma’s Enterprise MCP platform, companies can securely connect AI agents to business applications and data sources with full visibility and governance.
With this acquisition, Snowflake aims to strengthen its position as an enterprise data platform by adding a reliable control layer for AI agents. Founded in 2024, Natoma focuses on providing AI agents with secure and controlled access to corporate data and systems.
Secure integration of AI agents
Natoma’s platform addresses the growing complexity of AI agents in the enterprise. Companies want to deploy AI agents but often overlook security vulnerabilities, uncontrolled access, and a lack of governance. With Natoma, businesses can securely link AI agents to their existing systems, maintaining full control over what agents can read and which actions they are permitted to perform.
Snowflake sees Natoma as an ideal addition to its own vision for an enterprise AI agent control panel. Snowflake Intelligence and Cortex Code already form the foundation for AI-driven workflows. Natoma adds a security and governance layer to this.
The future of AI in business
The acquisition aligns with the growing demand for secure and scalable AI solutions. Companies want to know what AI agents can access, what actions they can take, and how every interaction can be audited. Natoma’s platform provides this functionality, and the integration with Snowflake is set to take this to the next level.
According to Snowflake, the future of AI in the enterprise will revolve around trust, connectivity, and governance. With Natoma, Snowflake can further expand this vision.
