Question 1
Due to recent data protection legislation, your client has asked how to protect the integrity of their z/OS audit records.
What system function should be recommended?
A. zSecure Audit
B. Pervasive Encryption
C. Crypto Express adapter
D. Signed SMF data
Question 2
A customer currently owns a z13s. The customer decides to purchase a z14 ZR1 and connect it to the z13s in a Parallel Sysplex. The two IBM Z machines will be 200 meters apart.
Which sysplex connectivity proposal is correct?
A. Add IFB 1X links to the z13s and order CE LR links on the z14 ZR1.
B. Add CE LR links to the z13s and order CE LR links on the z14 ZR1.
C. Add ICA SR links to the z13s and order ICA SR on the z14 ZR1.
D. Add IFB 1X links to the z13s and order IFB 1X links on the z14 ZR1.
Question 3
A security administrator would like to know more details about Coupling Facility Encryption. Their main concern is with Coupling Facility CPU overhead once encryption has been implemented.
Which ICF overhead consideration is associated with Coupling Facility Encryption?
A. Encryption is z/OS based and will not impact Coupling Facility overhead
B. Once ICA links are implemented, overhead will not be impacted
C. Overhead is dependent on the number and type of structures to be encrypted.
D. A Pervasive Encryption assessment can determine the overhead.

Which groups of native features are managed by the IFP?
A. Crypto Express, zEDC, Flash Express
B. zEDC, RoCE Express2, Coupling Express LR
C. Coupling Express LR, RoCE Express2, ICA SR
D. zHyperlink Express, zEDC, FICON Express 16s
Question 5
A customer starts using z/OS Encryption Readiness Technology (zERT) to gather knowledge about the state of encrypted network traffic in their system. They also use Sysplex Distributor, so there is TLS-encrypted traffic routed through the distributor systems to application hosts. The distributor systems also host TLS-encrypted TN3270 services for the network.
They started gathering data from the Sysplex Distributor hosts, since encrypted traffic is routed through those systems. A large number of encrypted TCP sessions seem to be missing from the customer's analysis.
What does the customer need to do to gather full analysis data?
A. Configure the zERT collection correctly on the Sysplex Distributor hosts.
B. Move the collection of data to the z/OS application data hosts.
C. Start gathering zERT data on all z/OS systems in their environment.
D. Move the collection of data to the network routers neighboring the z/OS systems.
