How to Build a Successful IFS Security Strategy - Sandi Moore

Ask any security professional which area of IBM i security is most often ignored and chances are the unanimous response is a chorus of “the Integrated File System.”

Many organizations are either unaware of the risks that an unsecured IFS poses or are simply unsure of how to secure it. Regardless of the reason, this is a problem. The system interface doesn’t differentiate how a user profile accesses data – which leaves sensitive data exposed and vulnerable to manipulation, malware, and even theft.

Join IBM i security expert Sandi Moore where she’ll go in depth on how to achieve a successful IFS security strategy. Topics will include:

What the IFS is and where it is vulnerable
The risks of ignoring IFS security
How to secure the IFS and what you need in order to do so
