IT Security Compliance Management Design Guide with IBM Tivoli Security Information and Event Manager by Axel Buecker,Jose Amado,David Druker,Carsten Lorenz,Frank Muehlenbrock,Rudy Tan,IBM Redbooks Pdf

To comply with government and industry regulations, such as Sarbanes-Oxley, Gramm Leach Bliley (GLBA), and COBIT (which can be considered a best-practices framework), organizations must constantly detect, validate, and report unauthorized changes and out-of-compliance actions within the Information Technology (IT) infrastructure. Using the IBM® Tivoli Security Information and Event Manager solution organizations can improve the security of their information systems by capturing comprehensive log data, correlating this data through sophisticated log interpretation and normalization, and communicating results through a dashboard and full set of audit and compliance reporting. In this IBM Redbooks® publication, we discuss the business context of security audit and compliance software for organizations and describe the logical and physical components of IBM Tivoli Security Information and Event Manager. We also present a typical deployment within a business scenario. This book is a valuable resource for security officers, administrators, and architects who want to understand and implement a centralized security audit and compliance solution.

IBM Security Solutions Architecture for Network, Server and Endpoint by Axel Buecker,Kent Browne,Louis Foss,Jaco Jacobs,Vladimir Jeremic,Carsten Lorenz,Craig Stabler,Joris Van Herzele,IBM Redbooks Pdf

Threats come from a variety of sources. Insider threats, as well as malicious hackers, are not only difficult to detect and prevent, but many times the authors of these threats are using resources without anybody being aware that those threats are there. Threats would not be harmful if there were no vulnerabilities that could be exploited. With IT environments becoming more complex every day, the challenges to keep an eye on all potential weaknesses are skyrocketing. Smart methods to detect threats and vulnerabilities, as well as highly efficient approaches to analysis, mitigation, and remediation, become necessary to counter a growing number of attacks against networks, servers, and endpoints in every organization. In this IBM® Redbooks® publication, we examine the aspects of the holistic Threat and Vulnerability Management component in the Network, Server and Endpoint domain of the IBM Security Framework. We explain the comprehensive solution approach, identify business drivers and issues, and derive corresponding functional and technical requirements, which enables us to choose and create matching security solutions. We discuss IBM Security Solutions for Network, Server and Endpoint to effectively counter threats and attacks using a range of protection technologies and service offerings. Using two customer scenarios, we apply the solution design approach and show how to address the customer requirements by identifying the corresponding IBM service and software products.

Identity Management Design Guide with IBM Tivoli Identity Manager by Axel Buecker,Dr. Werner Filip,Jaime Cordoba Palacios,Andy Parker,IBM Redbooks Pdf

Identity management is the concept of providing a unifying interface to manage all aspects related to individuals and their interactions with the business. It is the process that enables business initiatives by efficiently managing the user life cycle (including identity/resource provisioning for people (users)), and by integrating it into the required business processes. Identity management encompasses all the data and processes related to the representation of an individual involved in electronic transactions. This IBM® Redbooks® publication provides an approach for designing an identity management solution with IBM Tivoli® Identity Manager Version 5.1. Starting from the high-level, organizational viewpoint, we show how to define user registration and maintenance processes using the self-registration and self-care interfaces as well as the delegated administration capabilities. Using the integrated workflow, we automate the submission/approval processes for identity management requests, and with the automated user provisioning, we take workflow output and automatically implement the administrative requests on the environment with no administrative intervention. This book is a valuable resource for security administrators and architects who wish to understand and implement a centralized identity management and security infrastructure.

Network Intrusion Prevention Design Guide: Using IBM Security Network IPS by Axel Buecker,Matthew Dobbs,Dr. Werner Filip,Craig Finley,Vladimir Jeremic,Alisson Quesada,Karl Sigler,Mario Swainson,Joris van Herzele,IBM Redbooks Pdf

Every organization today needs to manage the risk of exposing business-critical data, improve business continuity, and minimize the cost of managing IT security. Most all IT assets of an organization share a common network infrastructure. Therefore, the first line of defense is to establish proper network security. This security is a prerequisite for a logical set of technical countermeasures to protect from many different attack vectors that use the network to infiltrate the backbone of an organization. The IBM® Security Network Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) stops network-based threats before they can impact the business operations of an organization. Preemptive protection, which is protection that works ahead of a threat, is available by means of a combination of line-speed performance, security intelligence, and a modular protection engine that enables security convergence. By consolidating network security demands for data security and protection for web applications, the IBM Security Network IPS serves as the security platform that can reduce the costs and complexity of deploying and managing point solutions. This IBM Redbooks® publication provides IT architects and security specialists a better understanding of the challenging topic of blocking network threats. This book highlights security convergence of IBM Virtual Patch® technology, data security, and Web Application Protection. In addition, this book explores the technical foundation of the IBM Security Network IPS. It explains how to set up, configure, and maintain proper network perimeter protection within a real-world business scenario.

Using the IBM Security Framework and IBM Security Blueprint to Realize Business-Driven Security by Axel Buecker,Saritha Arunkumar,Brian Blackshaw,Martin Borrett,Peter Brittenham,Jan Flegr,Jaco Jacobs,Vladimir Jeremic,Mark Johnston,Christian Mark,Gretchen Marx,Stefaan Van Daele,Serge Vereecke,IBM Redbooks Pdf

Security is a major consideration in the way that business and information technology systems are designed, built, operated, and managed. The need to be able to integrate security into those systems and the discussions with business functions and operations exists more than ever. This IBM® Redbooks® publication explores concerns that characterize security requirements of, and threats to, business and information technology (IT) systems. This book identifies many business drivers that illustrate these concerns, including managing risk and cost, and compliance to business policies and external regulations. This book shows how these drivers can be translated into capabilities and security needs that can be represented in frameworks, such as the IBM Security Blueprint, to better enable enterprise security. To help organizations with their security challenges, IBM created a bridge to address the communication gap between the business and technical perspectives of security to enable simplification of thought and process. The IBM Security Framework can help you translate the business view, and the IBM Security Blueprint describes the technology landscape view. Together, they can help bring together the experiences that we gained from working with many clients to build a comprehensive view of security capabilities and needs. This book is intended to be a valuable resource for business leaders, security officers, and consultants who want to understand and implement enterprise security by considering a set of core security capabilities and services.

Empowering Security and Compliance Management for the z/OS RACF Environment using IBM Tivoli Security Management for z/OS by Axel Buecker,Michael Cairns,IBM Redbooks Pdf

Every organization has a core set of mission-critical data that requires protection. Security lapses and failures are not simply disruptions, they can be catastrophic events with consequences felt across the enterprise. The inadvertent mistakes of privileged users alone can result in millions of dollars in damages through unintentional configuration errors and careless security commands. Malicious users with authorized access can cause even greater damage. As a result, security management faces a serious challenge to adequately protect a company's sensitive data. Likewise, IT staff is challenged to provide detailed audit and controls documentation in the face of increasing demands on their time. Automation and simplification of security and compliance processes can help you meet these challenges and establish effective, sustainable user administration and audit solutions. This includes security database cleanup, repeatable audit of configurations and settings, and active monitoring of changes and events. IBM Tivoli Security Management for z/OS V1.11 provides these solutions to help enhance the security of mainframe systems through automated audit and administration. In this IBM® RedpaperTM document we discuss how Tivoli® Security Management for z/OS® allows you to submit mainframe security information from z/OS, RACF®, and DB2® into an enterprise audit and compliance solution and how to combine mainframe data from z/OS, RACF, and DB2 with that from other operating systems, applications, and databases in order to provide the ability to capture comprehensive log data, interpret that data through sophisticated log analysis, and communicate results in an efficient, streamlined manner for full enterprise-wide audit and compliance reporting.

IT Security Policy Management Usage Patterns Using IBM Tivoli Security Policy Manager by Axel Buecker,Scott Andrews,Craig Forster,Nicholas Harlow,Ming Lu,Sridhar Muppidi,Trevor Norvill,Philip Nye,Günter Waller,Eric T. White,IBM Redbooks Pdf

In a growing number of organizations, policies are the key mechanism by which the capabilities and requirements of services are expressed and made available to other entities. The goals established and driven by the business need to be consistently implemented, managed and enforced by the service-oriented infrastructure; expressing these goals as policy and effectively managing this policy is fundamental to the success of any IT and application transformation. First, a flexible policy management framework must be in place to achieve alignment with business goals and consistent security implementation. Second, common re-usable security services are foundational building blocks for SOA environments, providing the ability to secure data and applications. Consistent IT Security Services that can be used by different components of an SOA run time are required. Point solutions are not scalable, and cannot capture and express enterprise-wide policy to ensure consistency and compliance. In this IBM® Redbooks® publication, we discuss an IBM Security policy management solution, which is composed of both policy management and enforcement using IT security services. We discuss how this standards-based unified policy management and enforcement solution can address authentication, identity propagation, and authorization requirements, and thereby help organizations demonstrate compliance, secure their services, and minimize the risk of data loss. This book is a valuable resource for security officers, consultants, and architects who want to understand and implement a centralized security policy management and entitlement solution.

Addressing Identity, Access and Compliance Requirements using IBM Tivoli Identity and Access Assurance by Axel Buecker,Ryan Fanzone,Leandro Hobo,Mike Maurer,IBM Redbooks Pdf

Today, security is a concern for everyone, from members of the board to the data center. Each day another data breach occurs. These incidents can affect an organization's brand, investment return, and customer base. Time spent managing security incidents and managing risks can take time away from focusing on strategic business objectives. Organizations need to address security challenges by administering, securing, and monitoring identities, roles, and entitlements with efficient life-cycle management, access controls, and compliance auditing. Those tasks include automated and policy-based user management to effectively manage user accounts and centralized authorization for web and other applications, and also enterprise, web, and federated single sign-on, inside, outside, and between organizations. Increasingly important requirements are the integration with stronger forms of authentication (smart cards, tokens, one-time passwords, and so forth) and centralizing policy-based access control of business-critical applications, files, and operating platforms. This IBM® RedpaperTM publication describes how the IBM Tivoli® Identity and Access Assurance offering can help you address compliance initiatives, operational costs (automating manual administrative tasks that can reduce help desk cost), operational security posture (administering and enforcing user access to resources), and operational efficiencies (enhancing user productivity).
