If you don't pass on your first try, we'll provide a free retake with the next updated question set until you succeed.
Continuous Updates & Version Control
IBM periodically releases fix packs and new features (such as enhanced audit export options and improved high-availability clustering). SPOTO maintains version control rigorously—whenever IBM issues a patch or modifies Guardium's policy engine, our team incorporates those changes within 48 hours. You'll never study obsolete rules or outdated deployment steps.
