Reduce The Cost and Effort of IBM i Auditing—Webinar 1/20/2010

At one time or another, every system administrator and security officer faces the question “who did it?” IBM i can audit numerous events, and you should be using its capabilities. However, what happens after you collect the event data? The challenge becomes how to convert the raw data into useful information.

In addition, auditors and internal policy controls often require the review of numerous security details and configuration metrics. Not only is this painfully time-consuming—especially when multiplied across many systems—it’s a resource-intensive process that makes us do it only when we have to instead of as part of an ongoing security plan.

Join this Webinar to understand:

  • How to configure IBM i to record system and user events
  • What types of activities can (and cannot) be audited
  • What mechanisms are available to extract audit data from the audit journal
  • What other information does an auditor want to see
  • How to step up to the next level of audit reporting with PowerTech Compliance Monitor

You’ll also learn about what system auditing does NOT capture, and how to prevent it from causing you to fail an audit.

Attendees are eligible to receive a FREE compliance assessment.
