IBM z/OS Mainframe Security and Audit Management Using the IBM Security zSecure Suite by Axel Buecker,Michael Cairns,Monique Conway,Mark S. Hahn,Deborah McLemore,Jamie Pease,Lili Xie,IBM Redbooks Pdf

Every organization has a core set of mission-critical data that must be protected. Security lapses and failures are not simply disruptions—they can be catastrophic events, and the consequences can be felt across the entire organization. As a result, security administrators face serious challenges in protecting the company's sensitive data. IT staff are challenged to provide detailed audit and controls documentation at a time when they are already facing increasing demands on their time, due to events such as mergers, reorganizations, and other changes. Many organizations do not have enough experienced mainframe security administrators to meet these objectives, and expanding employee skillsets with low-level mainframe security technologies can be time-consuming. The IBM® Security zSecure suite consists of multiple components designed to help you administer your mainframe security server, monitor for threats, audit usage and configurations, and enforce policy compliance. Administration, provisioning, and management components can significantly reduce administration, contributing to improved productivity, faster response time, and reduced training time needed for new administrators. This IBM Redbooks® publication is a valuable resource for security officers, administrators, and architects who wish to better understand their mainframe security solutions.

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.

Security on z/VM by Paola Bari,Helio Almeida,Gary Detro,David Druker,Marian Gasparovic,Manfred Gnirss,Jean Francois Jiguet,IBM Redbooks Pdf

Discussions about server sprawl, rising software costs, going green, or moving data centers to reduce the cost of business are held in many meetings or conference calls in many organizations throughout the world. And many organizations are starting to turn toward System zTM and z/VM® after such discussions. The virtual machine operating system has over 40 years of experience as a hosting platform for servers, from the days of VM/SP, VM/XA, VM/ESA® and especially now with z/VM. With the consolidation of servers and conservative estimates that approximately seventy percent of all critical corporate data reside on System z, we find ourselves needing a highly secure environment for the support of this infrastructure. This document was written to assist z/VM support and security personnel in providing the enterprise with a safe, secure and manageable environment. This IBM® Redbooks® publication provides an overview of security and integrity provided by z/VM and the processes for the implementation and configuration of z/VM Security Server, z/VM LDAP Server, IBM Tivoli® Directory Server for z/OS®, and Linux® on System z with PAM for LDAP authentication. Sample scenarios with RACF® database sharing between z/VM and z/OS, or through Tivoli Directory Integrator to synchronize LDAP databases, are also discussed in this book. This book provides information about configuration and usage of Linux on System z with the System z Cryptographic features documenting their hardware and software configuration. The Consul zSecure Pro Suite is also part of this document: this product helps to control and audit security not only on one system, but can be used as a single point of enterprise wide security control. This document covers the installation and configuration of this product and detailed information is presented on how z/Consul can be used to collect and analyze z/VM security data and how it can be helpful in the administration of your audit data.

Security for Linux on System z by Lydia Parziale,Jonathan Barney,Vic Cross,William Johnston,Eduardo Kienetz,Eric Marins,Nilesh Patel,Sri Venkatesen,IBM Redbooks Pdf

No IT server platform is 100% secure and useful at the same time. If your server is installed in a secure vault, three floors underground in a double-locked room, not connected to any network and switched off, one would say it was reasonably secure, but it would be a stretch to call it useful. This IBM® Redbooks® publication is about switching on the power to your Linux® on System z® server, connecting it to the data and to the network, and letting users have access to this formidable resource space in a secure, controlled, and auditable fashion to make sure the System z server and Linux are useful to your business. As the quotation illustrates, the book is also about ensuring that, before you start designing a security solution, you understand what the solution has to achieve. The base for a secure system is tightly related to the way the architecture and virtualization has been implemented on IBM System z. Since its inception 45 years ago, the architecture has been continuously developed to meet the increasing demands for a more secure and stable platform. This book is intended for system engineers and security administrators who want to customize a Linux on System z environment to meet strict security, audit, and control regulations. For additional information, there is a tech note that describes the best practices for securing your network. It can be found at: http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/tips0981.html?Open
