• DIBM Watson license

Explanation

Option D is correct because the "Am I Affected" scan within the IBM Security QRadar Threat Intelligence app integrates with IBM Watson for Cyber Security to perform cognitive threat analysis - determining whether your environment has been exposed to a given threat. Without the IBM Watson license, this AI-driven analysis capability is not available.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A (QRadar Console license): This is the foundational license required to run QRadar itself, not a special add-on for the Threat Intelligence app's scan feature.
• B (QRadar QVM license): QVM (Vulnerability Manager) is a separate QRadar module focused on traditional vulnerability scanning, and has no bearing on the "Am I Affected" functionality.
• C (IBM Advanced Threat Protection Feed license): While this sounds plausible given the threat context, it is not the specific license gating the "Am I Affected" scan.

Memory tip: Associate "Am I Affected?" with Watson by thinking "I need Watson (AI) to tell me if I'm affected" - any QRadar feature that performs cognitive or AI-driven threat impact assessment is powered by Watson, making the Watson license the telltale requirement.
