IBM i & Open Systems Security Tips

Last month I discussed the unthinkable - that your IBM i system has been breached.  (See "Pretend You've Been Hacked" Apr 14, 2104.   

 

This month, I want to discuss ways that you can look for signs of a breach or an attack, as well as the information you'll want to retain to aid the investigation should a breach occur. Both require that your system be configured properly prior to the breach.  

 

Let's take a look.

Security is more than just setting the right *PUBLIC authority of application objects.  How to determine the most effective way to access data with sufficient authority, user authentication requirements, object ownership, roles, encryption requirements, as well as how regulatory requirements play a factor all need to be considered in an application's design.  These issues, as well as a description of the PCI DSS application development requirements will be discussed.
