One of the greatest challenges that an organization faces when securing an IBM i environment is protecting the system from the very people who are also charged with its care: programmers, administrators, and security officers. While these power users often need access to restricted objects and commands, they rarely need that level of access 24 hours a day, and definitely not without accountability.

Join this important session to learn about the vulnerabilities associated with powerful users. Discover Authority Broker, an award winning approach to regaining the control that your auditors demand, while still allowing your administrators and programmers to do their jobs.

Attendees are eligible to receive a FREE compliance assessment.

A data breach is a leak of information into a non-trusted environment, and discovered occurrences are growing exponentially. Data leakage can be the result of accidental or malicious intent, but unlike any other form of “loss” often leaves the compromised data intact and therefore a challenge to discover.

Robin Tatam, Director of Security Technologies for PowerTech, is pleased to extend a warm welcome to Tom Garcia, President and CEO of InfoSight. Tom will be joining as a co-host for this session on Data Leak Prevention (DLP), and brings a wealth of in-depth knowledge and experience in the areas of Compliance and Risk Management.

Attend this Webinar to get insight into:

• What are data leaks, and how do they occur
• What business costs result from data leaks
• How your IBM i (AS/400) can be the source of a leak
• How to prevent data from leaving your organization without your knowledge
• What to look for in a data leak prevention (DLP) solution

Attendees are eligible to receive a FREE compliance assessment.

You will learn about performing an audit of these important areas:

• System Values
• Network Access such as FTP and ODBC
• User Profiles
• Special Authorities

At one time or another, every administrator and Security Officer will face the question “who did it?” The IBM i operating system includes a facility to audit certain user activities, and you need to use it. However, once the event data is collected the challenge becomes how to disseminate the raw data into useful information.

Join this webinar to understand:

• How to configure the IBM i operating system to record system and user events
• What types of activities can (and cannot) be audited
• What other information an Auditor wants to see
• How to step up to the next level of audit reporting with PowerTech Compliance Monitor

You will also learn about what system auditing does not capture, and how to prevent that from causing you to fail an audit.

Attendees are eligible to receive a FREE compliance assessment.
