Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
By configuring Customer-Managed Encryption Keys (BYOK) using Salesforce Shield and cloud provider key management services.
Why this is correct
BYOK integration ensures data exported to storage targets complies with enterprise encryption standards using customer keys.
- ✗
By setting an activation attribute flag for encryption.
Why it's wrong here
Activation attributes carry demographic data, not encryption instructions.
- ✗
By writing a custom encryption script in a Data Transform before export.
Why it's wrong here
Data transforms process data rows, they do not manage enterprise cryptographic key ceremonies.
- ✗
By enabling HTTPS TLS 1.3 on the activation target connection string.
Why it's wrong here
TLS encrypts data in transit, not data at rest in storage targets.
