SnowPro Core Certification — Question 869

When does Snowflake automatically encrypt data that is loaded into Snowflake? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. After the data is micro-partitioned.
• B. After loading the data into a table.
• C. After loading the data into an internal stage.
• D. After loading data into an external stage.
• E. Only when using an encrypted stage.

Correct answer: B, C

Explanation

Snowflake automatically encrypts data after it has been loaded into a table and also after it is placed into an internal stage. Options A, D, and E are incorrect because micro-partitioning happens after loading, external stages do not automatically encrypt data, and using an encrypted stage is not a requirement for encryption to occur.
