SnowPro Core Certification — Question 181

Which of the following statements apply to Snowflake in terms of security? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Snowflake leverages a Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) model.
• B. Snowflake requires a user to configure an IAM user to connect to the database.
• C. All data in Snowflake is encrypted.
• D. Snowflake can run within a user's own Virtual Private Cloud (VPC).
• E. All data in Snowflake is compressed.

Correct answer: A, C

Explanation

Option A is correct because Snowflake indeed uses a Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) model for managing user permissions. Option C is also correct as all data in Snowflake is encrypted to ensure security. Options B, D, and E are incorrect; Snowflake does not require IAM user configuration for database connections, it does not need to run in a user's VPC, and while data is compressed, this does not pertain to security.
