SnowPro Core Certification — Question 652

At which point is data encrypted when using a PUT command?

Answer options

• A. When it reaches the virtual warehouse
• B. When it gets micro-partitioned
• C. Before it is sent from the user's machine
• D. After it reaches the internal stage

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer, C, indicates that data encryption occurs before the data leaves the user's machine, ensuring security during transmission. Options A and B are incorrect because they suggest encryption happens only after the data reaches the virtual warehouse or during micro-partitioning, which is not the case. Option D is also incorrect as it implies encryption happens after the data has already been received by the internal stage.
