What’s New in IBM i 6.1 and 7.1 Security Enhancements—Webinar 5/19/2010

After decades of enjoying a reputation as one of the most secure platforms on the market today, many organizations are surprised to learn that their IBM i system is completely open. Addressing this dilemma requires configuration of the tools available in the operating system.

With the recent announcement of IBM i 7.1, IBM introduced a number of security enhancements that add value to its already impressive set of built-in security features.

Join us for this Webinar to learn about the new security functions in IBM i 6.1 and 7.1.

You’ll learn about enhancements in:

  • Password control system values
  • Session control system values
  • Encryption
  • User profile parameter changes

Attendees are eligible to receive a FREE Compliance Assessment.

One of the greatest challenges an organization faces when securing an IBM i environment is protecting the system from the people who are charged with its care: programmers, administrators, and security officers. These power users often need access to restricted objects and commands, but they rarely need that level of access 24 hours a day, and definitely not without accountability.
Join this session to learn about the vulnerabilities associated with powerful users. Then, explore Authority Broker, an award-winning approach to regaining the control your auditors demand while allowing your administrators and programmers to do their jobs.
