The
System i is, by design, one of the most reliable and secure computers in the
business community today. However, system security can be a relative term. If
you don’t take the steps to protect your System i through well-thought out
security policies, you could be exposing your most critical business data to
unauthorised access and damage. Robot/SECURITY, the i5/OS security monitoring
and auditing software, is the only security software that combines five
critical security tools in one package to help you develop a complete security
strategy for your System i.
Manage Access to Powerful User Profiles
Profile
Exchange allows you to authorize users to assume the authority of a more
powerful user profile—temporarily, when it’s needed. When users need a
different authority level, they can exchange to an alternate user profile,
assume the necessary authority, complete their tasks, then return to their
standard authority level. Robot/SECURITY tracks all activity during the
exchange and controls if the exchange occurs on a predefined schedule; requires
an administrator’s approval; or simply notifies you when it takes place.
Protect Access from the
Outside World
The System i allows users to access system functions
through a number of industry standard protocols, such as ODBC/JDBC, FTP and
Telnet. Although this makes the System i more accessible, it also makes it more
vulnerable. Robot/SECURITY Exit Point Monitoring creates a firewall around your
System i by monitoring server exit points and managing who can access your
system.
Audit your Systems
Robot/SECURITY’s Security Audit audits your system and reports if your
settings don’t match industry “best practices” or your company security
policy. Use Robot/SECURITY to audit system value settings, user profiles,
network attributes, servers and more. Additionally, audit your libraries,
files, commands, programs, directories and other objects for proper private and
public authorities, according to your policies. Don’t have a policy?
Robot/SECURITY helps you create one.
Monitor QAUDJRN
Did someone change a system value? Was a user profile given additional special
authorities? Did an unauthorised user try to access critical data?
Robot/SECURITY QAUDJRN Monitoring monitors for authority failures, user profile
changes, invalid password attempts and system value changes, then notifies you
when potential security problems occur.
Research a Security Breach
Forensics Analysis Utility is a PC tool that extracts data from Robot/SECURITY
records; the system audit journal (QAUDJRN); the system history log (QHST);
QSYSOPR and other message queues and Robot/ALERT, Robot/TRANSFORM and
Robot/REPORTS history to help you research a security breach.
