What happens elsewhere is eventually going to affect you!  By Carol Woodbury
Good question. Why should you care what happens in Massachusetts unless you live there? The answer is because what happens in states such as California and now Massachusetts tends to spread to other states. The breach notification law started in California has spread to almost all of the states, and similar ones are being debated across Europe and Asia. If the Massachusetts privacy laws spread like the California law, you'll want to be prepared. Let's take a closer look. |

Do you really understand what authorization lists are and what they do? By Rafael Victória-Pereira Securing a file, program, or other object with an authorization list is the same as granting access to each user profile on the authorization list. To help understand the concept, think of an authorization as two sub-lists: |

Download your free copy of the 2009 "State of System i Security" white paper.  By John Earl Are you responsible for IBM i security at your business? Are you wondering how well your security stacks up against that of your peers in other organizations? Have you dealt with auditors who don't understand System i (AS/400) security and don't have any guidelines for auditing your system? Wouldn't it be great if you could compare yourself to the rest of the industry? |

What is the role of anti-virus software in your regulatory compliance efforts? By Christopher Jones It's impossible to use an Internet-connected computer today without being surrounded by threats from viruses, hackers, and malicious code. But exactly which areas of the infrastructure are at risk is an oft-debated topic. Some popular views hold that client PCs are at risk and midrange servers are safe. Other views hold that the transmission process flows from the client PC to the midrange server. The first view is false. In today's interconnected environments, no system is immune to virus infection. The second view is true, but it's only part of the story. |

Protect IBM i, AIX, Linux, and Domino in one fell swoop. By Christopher Jones For some time now, IBM has been making the AS/400 family more powerful and versatile. With the introduction of Power Systems in 2008, the promise of one box that meets the demands of modern computing environments across multiple operating systems truly came of age. But with this versatility comes increased exposure to threats from malicious code. |

Add another layer of security to all of your Web applications.  By Robert Andrews The IBM i is a great platform for running Web applications. These applications can take advantage of Apache, PHP, and MySQL, all running natively on IBM i. Or you may be using a purchased application such as DB2 Web Query for IBM i. One common thread amongst them is that they can use the IBM i user profiles and passwords. This is both a blessing and a curse. While it allows for fewer user profiles for the end user, it also exposes your administrative user profiles, such as QSECOFR. A user at the login screen could put in QSECOFR, make three wrong guesses at the password, and lock out the account. In this TechTip, I will provide a method of securing these Web-based login interfaces. |
