Prevent IBM i Data Breaches: Protect Your Network from the Inside

Tuesday, September 29 2015 at 2:00pm ET

The most recent wave of data breaches at government agencies and private organizations demonstrates that enterprise network security is still not providing adequate protection. But sophisticated security software abounds for nearly every computer operating system, including IBM i. The problem is that many network administrators aren’t aware of the latest trends in network protection.
Many enterprise IT managers believe a so-called “threat management gateway”—otherwise known as a next-generation firewall—is all you need for complete IBM i security. However, just because the network border is secure doesn’t mean your computer platforms are truly locked down against data breaches.

In this webcast, network security expert Mel Beckman teams with IBM i security expert Robin Tatam of HelpSystems to explain three critical host-oriented protection technologies aimed at guarding your network from the inside, not just at the gate. Intrusion detection, security event monitoring, and file integrity monitoring are all essential weapons in a modern network protection arsenal. Once you learn their value, you’ll want them guarding your servers from data breach.
