| Why is AS400 Security needed? | | | | AS400 iSeries data is vulnerable to undergo any kind |
| With advancement in technology the IT sector is more | | | | of change or removal. The data security software |
| in need of internal controls and auditing. AS400 | | | | protects and prevents the data in the |
| systems can be categorized as physical security, | | | | above-mentioned case. |
| sign-on security and resource security. It helps in | | | | What are the functions of the AS400 Security |
| protecting the system, keep a check on the user | | | | software? |
| signing in and protect programs, files, libraries and data | | | | The main functions of the AS400 Securit software |
| within the system objects. | | | | are as follows: |
| Security demand for AS400 and iSeries network | | | | - Intrusion is detected and hence prevented. The |
| security audit solutions. | | | | security software does not allow the iSeries servers |
| The applications mainly include solutions to protection, | | | | from penetrating from other networks. |
| monitoring, IT auditing and regulatory compliance | | | | - Internal usage abuses are prevented from happening. |
| requirements. AS400 Security is maintained through | | | | - Access to exit-point is controlled. |
| access control, exit programs, network security audit, | | | | - Security logs are enhanced and functions like |
| alerts, critical field masking, and time-outs for every | | | | reporting and monitoring are performed by it. How |
| session and a complete audit of the database. | | | | much powerful is AS400 Security Software? |
| How are the security features of the AS400 Security | | | | It exhibits a property of granularity. It has the ability to |
| systems? | | | | grant various privileges for the objects, to be availed |
| The AS400 Security has strong features that are built | | | | by the users. With the vast number of users and |
| as the OS400 Security system. It has been the | | | | objects, the task of their management becomes |
| backbone of many midrange computer products, | | | | difficult. Automation for both, administration and |
| which include iSeries Security. The individual OS 400 | | | | monitoring purposes is recommended. This is because |
| resources are categorized on the basis of object type | | | | securing an object for every individual user or a group |
| and other qualifying parameters. | | | | is tough. |
| The predefined parameters map user authorization to | | | | A computer system stores a lot of information assets. |
| the objects through a system of user rights, group | | | | They are accessed by various users. The user |
| authorities and object types. The security auditing | | | | population, systems and networks configuration, |
| includes features like logs and system audit journal. | | | | individual systems, etc, undergo many changes. Thus |
| Database auditing is carried out by the file journal. | | | | the policy needs to be checked out quite frequently. |
| User-written programs are allowed by the exit points. | | | | An automated defense check is very much essential |
| The system includes complimentary system security | | | | for your AS400 Security Software, as there are |
| management and data security software to curb the | | | | complex interactions between the security systems. |
| power of the users from taking advantage of this | | | | AS400 i Series data can be protected in the same |
| openness. | | | | way. |
