In order to make cloud computing highly available and easy to use, there has to be an infrastructure in the background, like enterprise scheduling software.
During an audit a few years ago, I revealed to the client’s security team that corporate payroll information on every employee, including the CEO, was being archived in an output queue (called PAYROLL) for weeks at a time. Due to poor configuration, this information was accessible to every employee.
There are several considerations with authority adoption. Each is important but can usually be accommodated. But what is the effect if the program owner has the same or less privileges than the user that called the program?
Complying with the PCI standard is a normal part of doing business in today’s credit-centric world. But, PCI applies to multiple platforms. The challenge becomes how to map the general PCI requirements to a specific platform, such as IBM i. And, more importantly, how can you maintain—and prove—compliance?
Discover the ways to control and audit the activity of powerful users, with a view to enhancing the integrity of your IBM i. With the proper controls in place, you can restrict even the most powerful users as required.
Insiders are responsible for 34 percent of data breaches—and insiders are also the most difficult threat to control control on IBM i. You can't lock them out completely because your IBM i users need at least some level of access to do their jobs.
So, how do you ensure users have only the access they need without overburdening IT with manual processes that...
Your IBM i power users are one of your greatest assets. But on most systems, they're also one of your greatest security vulnerabilities. Find out how to regain control.

One of the best things about the UNIX environment (aside from being stable and efficient) is the vast array of software tools available to help you do your job. Traditionally, a UNIX tool does only one thing, but does that one thing very well. For example, grep is very easy to use and can search vast amounts of data quickly. The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of...
The Intermapper application for Splunk brings together Intermapper's robust network monitoring software with Splunk's high-powered searches and analysis of data stores.
In this compliance 101 primer, we'll look at three high-profile breaches from the past year, each of which shows what can go wrong when data oversight isn't up to snuff. Along the way, we'll discuss some basic fixes that can help shore up network defenses.
IBM’s customers are turning to Power VM virtualization to consolidate multiple workloads onto fewer systems increasing server utilization and reducing cost. However a virtualized server landscape on several different IBM platforms (IBM Power Systems™, IBM System x®, and IBM BladeCenter®) may reduce hardware complexity but this puts a strain on supporting the entire lifecycle of analysis,...
Barely a day passes without new headlines reporting another cyber attack, policy violation, or data breach. Secretly, we breathe a sigh of relief that it happened to someone else, but most of us know that we’ll all eventually feel the impact in some capacity.
Organizations facing a more advanced threat landscape and a complex regulatory environment require a solution which addresses the need for securely controlling access to existing systems and applications. In addition, this solution should not increase the workload on support, application providers or the end user.
