SnowPro Advanced: Data Engineer — Question 26

What is a characteristic of the use of external tokenization?

Answer options

• A. Secure data sharing can be used with external tokenization.
• B. External tokenization cannot be used with database replication.
• C. Pre-loading of unmasked data is supported with external tokenization.
• D. External tokenization allows the preservation of analytical values after de-identification.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because external tokenization allows organizations to de-identify sensitive data while still retaining the ability to perform analytics on that data. A is incorrect because secure data sharing can also be achieved without external tokenization. B is wrong as external tokenization can work with database replication under certain conditions. C is not accurate since pre-loading of unmasked data contradicts the purpose of tokenization.
