IBM Maximo Application Suite v8.x Administrator — Question 40

Monitoring data can be considered sensitive by some clients. How can a client configure IBM Cloud Monitoring so that sensitive monitoring data is not traveling across the public internet?

Answer options

• A. Encrypt all monitoring data with a user-controlled key from Key Protect or Hyper Protect Crypto Services
• B. Configure the monitoring instance and monitoring agents to only use private endpoints
• C. Ensure that all resources being monitored are in the same region as the IBM Cloud monitoring instance
• D. Use only private endpoints to store monitoring data in IBM Cloud Object Storage

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as configuring the monitoring instance and agents to use private endpoints ensures that data remains within a private network, preventing exposure to the public internet. Option A, while secure, does not inherently prevent data from traveling over the public internet if endpoints are not private. Option C is irrelevant to data transmission methods, and Option D limits storage but does not address how data is transmitted during monitoring.
