When it comes to security on IBM Power Servers running IBM i, a common challenge for many organizations is the number of users with too much power. These users can potentially circumvent application controls, override security restrictions for themselves and others, change critical server configuration settings, and even cover their tracks while they do it.
While everyone likes to feel special, we need to be more selective when it comes to data access. As we discussed last month, many users have privileges far beyond their business requirements and simply need to have their access reduced to more reasonable levels.
Ask any security professional which area of IBM i security is most often ignored and chances are that the unanimous response is a chorus of “the Integrated File System.” Although it’s been around since V3R1, the Integrated File System, or IFS, remains a shrouded mystery that represents significant risk to many IBM i organizations.
Servers running AIX and other operating systems are frequent targets of cyberattacks, according to the Data Breach Investigations Report. From DDoS to malware, attackers have many strategies at their disposal—and common cybersecurity mistakes make their attacks much easier.
One of the most serious mistakes is failing to create a well-defined security policy.

Evaluating and implementing cybersecurity software requires diligence. And if your InfoSec team is short staffed, choosing the right tools is more important than ever.
Curious about what your fellow IT professionals think about the state of cybersecurity and the risks we face at every turn? Get the visual scoop below with high-impact graphics from the recent study Fortra conducted.
Your organization has invested in a security information event manager, or SIEM, to receive and analyse security and event log information from a variety of servers. Now they want to also get this information from their IBM Power Systems server.
The cost of managing user access to data and software applications with user IDs and passwords adds up quickly, but the solution is surprisingly simple.
With single sign on (SSO), you can eliminate passwords—and the cost associated with them—by joining your IBM i, AIX, and Linux servers to your Windows domain for authentication. The key to achieving the ROI...
