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? How do you convert the raw data into useful information?

Auditors and internal policy controls often require the review of numerous security details and configuration metrics. Not only is this time-consuming—especially when multiplied across many systems—it’s a resource-intensive process. Often, we 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 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

Attendees are eligible to receive a FREE Compliance Assessment.

For the past seven years, PowerTech has compiled audit data trends from over 1,500 servers into the annual “State of IBM i Security” study. Each year, the study identifies many of the same vulnerabilities, suggesting that IBM i shops are still not where they need to be in terms of security and auditing.

Join us for this Webinar where you’ll learn how to get started auditing your IBM i server, and how PowerTech’s compliance assessment tool can perform a personalized review of your environment—in under 15 minutes!

You’ll learn about auditing these critical areas:

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