Download or read book Security Guide for IBM i V6 1 written by Jim Cook and published by IBM Redbooks. This book was released on 2009-05-29 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The IBM® i operation system (formerly IBM i5/OS®) is considered one of the most secure systems in the industry. From the beginning, security was designed as an integral part of the system. The System i® platform provides a rich set of security features and services that pertain to the goals of authentication, authorization, integrity, confidentiality, and auditing. However, if an IBM Client does not know that a service, such as a virtual private network (VPN) or hardware cryptographic support, exists on the system, it will not use it. In addition, there are more and more security auditors and consultants who are in charge of implementing corporate security policies in an organization. In many cases, they are not familiar with the IBM i operating system, but must understand the security services that are available. This IBM Redbooks® publication guides you through the broad range of native security features that are available within IBM i Version and release level 6.1. This book is intended for security auditors and consultants, IBM System Specialists, Business Partners, and clients to help you answer first-level questions concerning the security features that are available under IBM. The focus in this publication is the integration of IBM 6.1 enhancements into the range of security facilities available within IBM i up through Version release level 6.1. IBM i 6.1 security enhancements include: - Extended IBM i password rules and closer affinity between normal user IBM i operating system user profiles and IBM service tools user profiles - Encrypted disk data within a user Auxiliary Storage Pool (ASP) - Tape data save and restore encryption under control of the Backup Recovery and Media Services for i5/OS (BRMS) product, 5761-BR1 - Networking security enhancements including additional control of Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption rules and greatly expanded IP intrusion detection protection and actions. DB2® for i5/OS built-in column encryption expanded to include support of the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) encryption algorithm to the already available Rivest Cipher 2 (RC2) and Triple DES (Data Encryption Standard) (TDES) encryption algorithms. The IBM i V5R4 level IBM Redbooks publication IBM System i Security Guide for IBM i5/OS Version 5 Release 4, SG24-6668, remains available.

This book was released on 2011-12-16 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every organization today needs to manage the risk of exposing business-critical data, improve business continuity, and minimize the cost of managing IT security. Most all IT assets of an organization share a common network infrastructure. Therefore, the first line of defense is to establish proper network security. This security is a prerequisite for a logical set of technical countermeasures to protect from many different attack vectors that use the network to infiltrate the backbone of an organization. The IBM® Security Network Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) stops network-based threats before they can impact the business operations of an organization. Preemptive protection, which is protection that works ahead of a threat, is available by means of a combination of line-speed performance, security intelligence, and a modular protection engine that enables security convergence. By consolidating network security demands for data security and protection for web applications, the IBM Security Network IPS serves as the security platform that can reduce the costs and complexity of deploying and managing point solutions. This IBM Redbooks® publication provides IT architects and security specialists a better understanding of the challenging topic of blocking network threats. This book highlights security convergence of IBM Virtual Patch® technology, data security, and Web Application Protection. In addition, this book explores the technical foundation of the IBM Security Network IPS. It explains how to set up, configure, and maintain proper network perimeter protection within a real-world business scenario.

This book was released on 2014-02-06 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Security is a major consideration in the way that business and information technology systems are designed, built, operated, and managed. The need to be able to integrate security into those systems and the discussions with business functions and operations exists more than ever. This IBM® Redbooks® publication explores concerns that characterize security requirements of, and threats to, business and information technology (IT) systems. This book identifies many business drivers that illustrate these concerns, including managing risk and cost, and compliance to business policies and external regulations. This book shows how these drivers can be translated into capabilities and security needs that can be represented in frameworks, such as the IBM Security Blueprint, to better enable enterprise security. To help organizations with their security challenges, IBM created a bridge to address the communication gap between the business and technical perspectives of security to enable simplification of thought and process. The IBM Security Framework can help you translate the business view, and the IBM Security Blueprint describes the technology landscape view. Together, they can help bring together the experiences that we gained from working with many clients to build a comprehensive view of security capabilities and needs. This book is intended to be a valuable resource for business leaders, security officers, and consultants who want to understand and implement enterprise security by considering a set of core security capabilities and services.

Download or read book Security in Development The IBM Secure Engineering Framework written by Warren Grunbok and published by IBM Redbooks. This book was released on 2018-12-17 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: IBM® has long been recognized as a leading provider of hardware, software, and services that are of the highest quality, reliability, function, and integrity. IBM products and services are used around the world by people and organizations with mission-critical demands for high performance, high stress tolerance, high availability, and high security. As a testament to this long-standing attention at IBM, demonstration of this attention to security can be traced back to the Integrity Statement for IBM mainframe software, which was originally published in 1973: IBM's long-term commitment to System Integrity is unique in the industry, and forms the basis of MVS (now IBM z/OS) industry leadership in system security. IBM MVS (now IBM z/OS) is designed to help you protect your system, data, transactions, and applications from accidental or malicious modification. This is one of the many reasons IBM 360 (now IBM Z) remains the industry's premier data server for mission-critical workloads. This commitment continues to apply to IBM's mainframe systems and is reiterated at the Server RACF General User's Guide web page. The IT market transformed in 40-plus years, and so have product development and information security practices. The IBM commitment to continuously improving product security remains a constant differentiator for the company. In this IBM RedguideTM publication, we describe secure engineering practices for software products. We offer a description of an end-to-end approach to product development and delivery, with security considered. IBM is producing this IBM Redguide publication in the hope that interested parties (clients, other IT companies, academics, and others) can find these practices to be a useful example of the type of security practices that are increasingly a must-have for developing products and applications that run in the world's digital infrastructure. We also hope this publication can enrich our continued collaboration with others in the industry, standards bodies, government, and elsewhere, as we seek to learn and continuously refine our approach.
