Announcing SkyView Policy Minder for IBM AIX
by Carol Woodbury
President, SkyView Partners, Inc.
SEATTLE, Wash - September 15, 2011 - SkyView Partners today announced an AIX version of the popular SkyView Policy Minder product. "AIX is a new platform for SkyView and we are excited to show the AIX community a new way of addressing security compliance and administration. With security compliance and administration, the "devil is in the details". As with Policy Minder in the IBM i world, we've put a lot of rich features in the product to make the life of the administrator much easier. A lot of administrators write scripts to get compliance information. While scripting may get the job done, it's cumbersome to deal with across multiple partitions. With scripts, it's difficult to weave in an easy-to-use reporting mechanism that aggregates the data from multiple partitions. With Policy Minder for AIX, we've provided a web-based interface that provides a centralized view of your compliance status as well as easy access to reports and the ability to launch compliance checks and fixes to security policy deviations across multiple partitions." explains Carol Woodbury, President of SkyView Partners Inc. |
Automating IBM AIX Security Compliance Reporting
(with SkyView Policy Minder for IBM AIX)
presented by Carol Woodbury
Compliance and reporting requirements span all operating systems. Now the reporting features that are available for IBM i are available on IBM AIX. You can gather and compare the information on user accounts, directory and file permissions and global settings using hand-written scripts run on each of your partitions. Or... you can use Policy Minder for AIX to automate the process of gathering and reporting on the information simply and concisely, consolidating information from each AIX server being examined.
During this webinar you'll see the features of Policy Minder for AIX and see how you save time on your compliance reporting needs and see how to set up a consistent, accurate and efficient process that can span multiple partitions from a single console.
