Top 10 IBM i Security Risks Presented by Robin Tatum, PowerTech

This meeting will be held on January ^20th, 2010

Everyone knows that security is important, but getting started on the road to compliance often can be confusing and intimidating. Understanding common vulnerabilities allows you to focus your attention and resources on the areas that need the most help.

Although your IBM i server is one of the most securable platforms available, it doesn’t come that way from the factory.

PowerTech’s annual “State of System i Security” study has shown that most organizations still fail to take adequate steps to secure their data assets, or the server itself.

PowerTech has compiled a “Top 10” of the most common and important IBM i security risks. This presentation will help you learn how to identify potential security exposures on your system. You’ll gain an understanding of the top ten security vulnerabilities and some recommendations about how to fix them.
