What will prevent unauthorized access to a Snowflake account from an unknown source?
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) provides an additional layer of security by requiring users to provide multiple forms of verification before gaining access. This makes it significantly harder for unauthorized users to access the account even if they have obtained user credentials. While network policies can control inbound traffic, MFA specifically addresses unauthorized access attempts from unknown sources by ensuring that just having the right credentials is not enough.
Netwoek policy if they mean an unknown IP-adress
The question should be more specific. I think A and C are correct. Depends what is meant by 'unknown source'? SF documentation says the network policies control inbound traffic, although with MFA set for an user, somebody who stole credentials won't be able to log in. Idk which one to choose
Both options (A) Network policy and (C) Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) contribute to preventing unauthorized access, but MFA is specifically designed to provide an additional layer of security by requiring users to provide multiple forms of verification before gaining access, making it harder for unauthorized users to access the account even if they manage to bypass network policies. So, while network policies play a role in access control, MFA is typically considered a more effective measure against unauthorized access from unknown sources.
