Full set: 162 questionsDomain Implementing and Deploying a Solution
Snowflake's Business Critical edition is designed for organizations with stringent security and data protection requirements. Two key features that are introduced at this level are Tri-Secret Secure and private connectivity. Tri-Secret Secure allows customers to use their own encryption keys, providing an extra layer of security and control. Private connectivity, using services like AWS PrivateLink, Azure Private Link, or Google Cloud Private Service Connect, ensures that all communication with Snowflake occurs over a private network, completely isolating it from the public internet. Both features are fundamental to meeting high-level compliance standards and are available starting with the Business Critical edition.
A. Extended Time Travel (up to 90 days): This feature is available starting with the Enterprise edition, which is a lower tier than Business Critical.
C. Periodic rekeying of encrypted data: This is a standard, built-in security practice managed by Snowflake across all editions and is not an optional feature.
E. Federated authentication and SSO: This capability is available starting with the Enterprise edition, a tier below Business Critical.
