The Operations Dashboard in IBM Cloud Pak for Integration (CP4I) v2021.2 is used for monitoring and managing integration components. When securing data at rest, the supported encryption method in CP4I includes Portworx, which provides enterprise-grade storage and encryption solutions.
Portworx is a Kubernetes-native storage solution that supports encryption of data at rest.
It enables persistent storage for OpenShift workloads, including Cloud Pak for Integration components.
Portworx provides AES-256 encryption, ensuring that data at rest remains secure.
It allows for role-based access control (RBAC) and Key Management System (KMS) integration for secure key handling.
Why Option B (Portworx) is Correct:
A. AES128 → Incorrect
While AES encryption is used for data protection, AES128 is not explicitly mentioned as the standard for Operations Dashboard storage encryption.
AES-256 is the preferred encryption method when using Portworx or IBM-provided storage solutions.
C. base64 → Incorrect
Base64 is an encoding scheme, not an encryption method.
It does not provide security for data at rest, as base64-encoded data can be easily decoded.
D. NFS → Incorrect
Network File System (NFS) does not inherently provide encryption for data at rest.
NFS can be used for storage, but additional encryption mechanisms are needed for securing data at rest.
