Correct Answer: D

Snowflake recommends, at a minimum, that all users with the ACCOUNTADMIN role should be enrolled in Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA). This is because the ACCOUNTADMIN role can manage critical account settings, users, and billing, making it essential to safeguard these controls with an additional layer of security such as MFA.

The recommended roles for Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) in Snowflake are: C. SECURITYADMIN, ACCOUNTADMIN Here's why: SECURITYADMIN: This role has broad privileges for managing security policies, users, and access controls. An unauthorized user gaining access to a SECURITYADMIN account could cause significant security risks. Enforcing MFA adds an extra layer of protection for such accounts. ACCOUNTADMIN: This role can manage account settings, users, and billing. MFA helps safeguard these critical administrative controls. While not explicitly mentioned in the minimum recommendation: SYSADMIN: The SYSADMIN role has full control over the Snowflake account. Ideally, MFA should be enabled for this role as well for maximum security. Public: The PUBLIC role has limited privileges and typically doesn't require MFA.
