SnowPro Core Certification — Question 437

Which Snowflake feature allows a user to substitute a randomly generated identifier for sensitive data, in order to prevent unauthorized users access to the data, before loading it into Snowflake?

Answer options

• A. External Tokenization
• B. External Tables
• C. Materialized Views
• D. User-Defined Table Functions (UDTF)

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, External Tokenization, which specifically addresses the need to mask sensitive data by substituting it with a token. The other options, like External Tables, Materialized Views, and User-Defined Table Functions (UDTF), do not provide the same functionality for protecting sensitive information before it is stored.
