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

Attendees are eligible to receive a FREE Compliance Assessment.

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.

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.

Although your IBM i server is one of the most securable platforms available today, it doesn’t come that way from the factory. PowerTech’s “State of System i Security” study has shown that most organizations still fail to take adequate steps to secure their critical data, or the server itself.

PowerTech has compiled a “Top 10″ of the most common and important IBM i security risks. Attend this informative Webinar to learn how you can identify potential security exposures on your system. You’ll gain an understanding of the top ten security vulnerabilities and some recommendations about how to fix them.

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

We’re very pleased to announce that Richard Bryant of Pilot Pen is the lucky winner of the Netbook mobile internet device in our recent security compliance assessment promotion. Richard took advantage a free PowerTech security compliance assessment and was entered into the drawing for the device. We would also like to thank everyone who participated.

Our free security compliance assessment helps you identify areas of weakness in your current configuration so that you can take steps to correct problems and close exposures before these weaknesses are exposed by an audit. PowerTech Network Security can then help you implement the access control that regulatory legislation requires by preventing unauthorized access to data by giving you the power to fine-tune restrictions to only those who need it.

To get a free security compliance assessment for your System i, visit our request page. You can also learn more about PowerTech Network Security in the products section of our website.
