How to Avoid IFS Security Mistakes - Sandi Moore

One of the most neglected areas of IBM i security is the Integrated File System (IFS). This powerful feature of the operating system integrates IBM i with other servers and encompasses all other file structures, including \QSYS.LIB. If you’re using IBM i, you’re using the IFS.

What many people don’t realize is that the IFS is not pre-configured in a secure state—and there’s no way to disable the IFS.

In this webinar, IBM i security expert Sandi Moore will teach you how to correct IFS vulnerabilities that are often overlooked, including one that allows the IFS to spread malware throughout your environment.

You’ll learn:

How the IFS is configured
Why malware is so devastating to the IFS
How to avoid the top 3 IFS security mistakes

If the IBM i operating system is important to your organization, you don’t want to miss this session!
