A. IBM Cloud Internet Services (CIS)
B. IBM Cloud Direct Link
C. IBM Watson
D. IBM Cloud Object Storage

Question#3

A bank's developer argues that they don't need the "IBM Cloud for Financial Services" profile because they can just "secure the server themselves."
What is the primary risk-reduction benefit they are missing with this mindset?

A. The program prevents the server from ever needing patches.
B. Compliance by Design: The program offers "Reference Architectures" where the security controls are baked into the Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform), ensuring the environment is compliant from the moment of provisioning, rather than relying on manual, error-prone hardening after the fact.
C. The program guarantees the server will run faster.
D. The program provides free antivirus software.

Question#4

A compliance officer is reviewing a Security and Compliance Center (SCC) report. They notice a failure related to "Data-in-Transit Encryption."
Review the control reference provided in the report details:
Control_ID: "SC-8"
Standard_Reference: "NIST-800-53_Rev5"
Description: "The information system protects the confidentiality and integrity of transmitted information."
Implementation: "TLS 1.2 or higher required."
To resolve this specific regulatory finding for a public-facing load balancer, what is the correct configuration action?

A. Configure the load balancer's HTTPS listener with a custom security policy that disables TLS 1.0 and 1.1, enforcing TLS 1.2 only.
B. Use a VPN for all public internet traffic.
C. Configure the load balancer to use HTTP port 80 for all listeners to ensure compatibility.
D. Enable "End-to-End Encryption" by installing a self-signed certificate on the backend servers only.

Question#5

What is the primary benefit for an Independent Software Vendor (ISV) to invest the effort in becoming "Financial Services Validated"?

A. It provides a competitive differentiator and removes barriers to entry when selling to large financial institutions, effectively opening up the regulated market.
B. It automatically grants them a banking license from the government.
C. It allows them to bypass all security controls in their development pipeline.
D. It allows them to use IBM's internal employee cafeteria.
