Explanation

Snowflake uses a hierarchical key management model with multiple layers of encryption keys. The Account Master Key and Table Master Keys at the top of this hierarchy are automatically rotated every 30 days by Snowflake. This automatic rotation is a built-in security feature of Snowflake's encryption architecture and applies to all Snowflake accounts. Customers using Tri-Secret Secure can bring their own customer-managed key, but Snowflake-managed keys still rotate on this 30-day cycle.
