Explanation

This statement is True. Terraform Cloud provides several built-in state management security features: AES-256 encryption of state at rest, TLS encryption for all state data in transit, identity-aware state access (every request is tied to an authenticated user or team token), and a full version history of every state file with the ability to roll back. These are core differentiating features of Terraform Cloud over a basic self-managed remote backend, and they are frequently tested on the Terraform Associate exam.
