I'm guessing this is to sell a service to corporations who want to internally use the blockchain.

Right, and could probably customized it as needed. And the keyword here is 'security', so that alone is a good marketing ploy and I'm sure companies with bite on this one. Who wouldn't want a technology that can give you better security?
Definitely if they're putting anything seen as sensitive on this internal blockchain. Which of course they will.

I think this is a good company for focusing on the development of the security on blockchain projects, we have seen a lot of hacks on blockchain especially the 51% attack that has caused a lot of problems for the users of those platform.

most start-up want something great from their developer but are not ready to pay for a good service, this is why we always see bad projects that lacks good security even from the beginning of when the project is being launched.

All investors want a platform that assures and actually provides security of assets as well as data, thus would always seek a reliable platform that offers such services. IBM is known for providing cloud services that is unique on it own, and now combing such services with blockchain, definitely it's a good selling point.
