Despite the avalanche of regulations, news headlines remain chock full of stories about data breaches, all initiated by insiders or intruders masquerading as insiders.
This quick 4-minute video and guide walks you through how to install and set up Intermapper Flows for powerful bandwidth monitoring and network traffic analysis.
Ad hoc queries and reports are the bane of many IT departments. The need to churn out frequent, one-off, "must have" data queries for users can be a significant drain on developers' time. Users can't be blamed for the numerous impromptu requests. Customer service, continuous improvement, and the maintenance of competitive advantage demand that business people regularly look at data in innovative...
Are you ready to report your NIST 800-171 compliance status by the end of the year? If you do business with the federal government, you need to comply with SP NIST 800-171 by the end of the year. Now is the time to implement your compliance plan.
Multi-factor authentication (MFA) exists because of the steady increase in data breach events. A data breach can subject your organization to steep fines, litigation, and even criminal prosecution. And it opens innocent third parties to identify theft, which you may also be legally required to mitigate—at your own expense.
MFA protects you from the most common cause of a data breach: compromised...
How do you calculate the return on investment (ROI) of a network monitoring software? Learn the problems a network monitoring solution can solve and how to easily calculate its ROI.
Introduced by IBM to support TCP/IP services, a profile swap allows a job to change midstream and run under a different profile than the one that started it.
Many Power Systems users still believe Linux, AIX, and IBM i are immune to viruses because viruses are a Windows threat. That’s not the case in today’s connected environments.
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?
IBM i has had superior built-in security features from the beginning. However, as internetworking increases and open protocols and servers become the norm, additional protection is needed.
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.
