Monitor and restrict IBM i command usage

Nothing would happen on the IBM i without users executing commands, but a command-based system poses unique risks. While some commands are harmless if available to anyone with a user profile, others could cause significant damage or security issues if misused. Securing the system requires a solution that prevents users from performing tasks outside of their normal job responsibilities.

Just as Powertech Authority Broker for IBM i helps you manage user access and monitor user activity, Powertech Command Security for IBM i gives you the ability to monitor and restrict command usage. Allow or prevent commands from being executed based on the situation, and notify administrators when select commands are issued. Having control over certain commands helps administrators maintain a secure system and prevent inappropriate command usage.
