You are developing a Snowflake Native Application that leverages user-defined functions (UDFs) and stored procedures. During the security scanning process before listing on the Snowflake Marketplace, you encounter a 'Failed to Detect Secrets' error. After investigation, you determine that the error stems from hardcoded API keys within a Python UDF that are being used to interact with a third-party service. Which of the following strategies would be MOST effective and secure to resolve this issue and pass the security scan?
Correct Answer: B
Snowflake Secrets are the recommended and most secure way to handle sensitive information like API keys. Using 'SYSTEM$GET_SECRET allows you to retrieve the secrets at runtime without hardcoding them in the application code. Options A and C provide weak security and are easily compromised. Option D may not be feasible depending on the complexity of the UDF. Option E introduces complexities in data access and security management.
