Back Next

As a seller talks to a Chief Technology Officer (CTO) about

cyber resiliency, the client asks, "Do traditional replication
strategies protect us from cyber-attacks?" What is the seller's
answer?

Yes, because traditional strategies and NVMe (Non-

Volatile Memory express) technology can provide 100%
protection.

Yes, if the data is replicated as compressed information to

a remote secondary site.
Maybe, but only if the organization has three-site
replication, because at least one site will remain
uninfected.
No, unfortunately traditional strategies will likely 

replicate logical errors and malware to your remote

site.

Question 4

Correct

Points out of 1.00

Back Next

At the end of a cyber resiliency conversation with a client

about IBM Storage Defender, the seller reminds them that
accurately detecting threats is possible, but it requires
something. What does it require?

It requires a single, high-activity Disaster Recovery sensor

with advanced threat detection.
It requires IBM’s Cyber Resiliency Assessment tool
coupled with high performance flash.
It requires immutable copies of data being kept on tape to
create a physical air gap.
It requires multiple sensors where each sensor helps 
to corroborate the threat.

Question 5

Correct

Points out of 1.00

During a meeting, a client interrupts and asks what is meant

by the term “minimum viable recovery?.” Which of the
following definitions should be given to them?

Recovery of offsite air-gapped data copies, which then

can be used to guarantee that a complete data restoration
can occur
Recovery of word processing, email, and corporate web
pages so people outside the company do not notice
anything unusual occurring
Recovery of critical workloads that are making the 
business money every second of the day and therefore
need to be recovered as quickly as possible to
minimize business disruption.
Recovery of all workloads, including non-critical
workloads for back-office, and so forth, which must be
recovered so the company can experience business as
usual

Question 8

Correct

Points out of 1.00

Back Next

It is important to help clients understand what “good” looks

like. In order to have “good,” an organization must be able to
create secure copies of their data. And while it is important to
focus on recovery speed, it is also important to keep looking
for something else. What else should they continue to look
for?

Dormant threats within their data 

Cold data sitting on expensive hot data tiers
Secondary replication sites with virtual or physical air
gaps
Immutable copies of data they have lost on their
secondary storage

Significant operational resilience regulations are now in effect

in the European Union (EU) and will likely spread to other
geographies. Sellers want to ensure that their clients are
aware of these regulations and are taking steps to be
compliant. Which of the following DOES NOTdeal with
operational resilience regulations.

The Network and Information Security Directive (NIS2)

provides legal measures requiring EU members to be
appropriately equipped to address coordinated attacks.
The Bureau of Consumer Protection (BCP) stops 
unfair, deceptive, and fraudulent business practices;
develops rules to maintain a fair marketplace; and
educate consumers about their rights and
responsibilities.
The General Data Protection Regulation is a data privacy
regulation from Europe that grants rights to individuals in
the European Union and the European Economic Area
(EU/EEA) over how their personal information gets
processed, both online and offline.
The Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) is a
regulatory framework requiring all businesses to ensure
they can withstand, respond to, and recover from all types
of information and communications technology (ICT)
related disruptions and threats.

Points out of 1.00

During conversations with new clients around data resiliency,

what recommendation should sellers make before ending the
call?

Take the clients to an IBM Data Center for a personalized

presentation tailored to their specific needs.
Suggest that the seller follow up with a proposal for a
data resiliency solution from IBM.
Urge the clients to take advantage of a free Cyber 
Resiliency Assessment from IBM.
Present a live demonstration of IBM’s data resiliency
offerings at the client site.

Question 12

Correct

Points out of 1.00

Back Next

Many clients believe that the combination of backup and

restore capabilities are all that are required to protect from
cyber-attacks and other data center disasters. How should a
seller respond to this perception?

The successful use of backup and restore capabilities is

always dependent on the skills of the data center
administrators.
While backup and restore are essential as part of a 
total data resiliency solution, they do not protect
against ransomware getting into the company’s data.
As long as a company has at least one remote site, they
can ensure they have data that is free from corruption.
This is false in every situation EXCEPT a malware attack;
malware attacks can always be detected and resolved
quickly and safely.

Question 13

Correct

Points out of 1.00

Back Next

A client is reluctant to implement a data resilience solution.

Which of the following seller responses could drive home the
risks of “doing nothing?”

When a ransomware attack occurs, simply pay the ransom

within 24 hours and continue with business as usual.
If the organization has deployed a combination of data
resilience offerings from multiple vendors, the chances of
their exposure to a cyber incident are practically zero.
A knowledgeable data administrator can detect an attack
within a day after it occurs, thereby limiting the impact of
data loss and downtime.
When an organization does nothing, the typical time 
from point of attack to recovery can be 23 days,
costing the business both financial and customer
satisfaction losses.

Question 14

Correct

Points out of 1.00

Back Next

While talking to a Chief Security Officer (CS0) about cyber

security, they say they feel safe because they have data
protection and disaster recovery (DR) capabilities in place to
recover from system failures and natural disasters. What
would be a good response to give them?

If the organization is attacked, they can simply recover

from backups.
If these defenses are in place, the business is 100%
protected.
Unfortunately, data protection and disaster recovery 
are not the same as cyber resilience, and it doesn't
matter whose solution the organization has because it
is not possible to have 100% absolute cyber security.
With synchronous or asynchronous replication to a
disaster recovery site, an undetected infection cannot be
replicated to the remote site.

Have a technology conversation with management –
administrators and backup administrators – with a focus
on IBM’s data resilience offerings as best in the market
for protecting their data.
Have a business conversation with C-suite upper 

management, including the risk officer and security

officer, to create awareness of the importance of data
resilience.
Invite clients to an executive briefing where then can see
what “good” really looks like, then follow this with a
proposal for a solution that would meet the client’s
needs.
