- B Row Access Policies
- C Network Policies
- D Always-on Encryption
Reveal correct answer
Correct answer: D
Explanation
✅ Always-on Encryption
Explanation:
Snowflake implements end-to-end encryption for data at rest and in transit using AES-256 encryption.
Data at rest is automatically encrypted when stored in Snowflake.
Data in transit is encrypted using TLS 1.2 or higher, ensuring secure communication between clients and Snowflake.
This encryption is always enabled and cannot be turned off, making it a fundamental security feature.
❌ Why the other options are incorrect?
Network Policies → Control IP-based access, but do not encrypt data.
Secure Views → Restrict data visibility, but do not provide encryption.
Row Access Policies → Manage row-level security, but do not encrypt data.
