Compliance and security management on IBM i with IBM PowerSC
2024-11-19, 16:20–17:10, Sterrennacht

Managing the security and compliance on different IBM i systems and partitions can be a challenging task. Changing a setting
is quite simple, but automatically checking if a security setting remains the same over time and getting notified about a change is
a challenge. IBM offers a product called IBM PowerSC. This product uses compliance profiles to perform the necessary security
configuration and monitors that the systems remain compliant. It offers a single user interface that lets you monitor the compliance
and security of all your IBM i, Linux on Power, AIX, and VIOS partitions on your Power System. It provides more security functions for
malware detection, PTF level currency checking, and more. This session shows you what PowerSC is, how it works, and based
on the Center for Internet Security (CIS) IBM i benchmark how to apply a compliance profile. You also see the reporting capabilities
of the product, which offers administrators and auditors a comprehensive overview of the security state of your IBM i landscape.
