Yes, IBM i is Vulnerable to Ransomware - Joe Hertvik & Mel Zucker

Ransomware can encrypt and rename Integrated File System (IFS) stream files that support native IBM i applications and store user documents. Ransomware can also attack native IBM i objects, when the QSYS.LIB file system is exposed to network attacks.  

Ransomware disables business processing, breaches security, and wastes money and time in recovering from an attack. As attacks become more prevalent, corporations, governments, auditors and regulators are increasingly requiring stronger protection against ransomware.

Join this webinar where we’ll discuss how ransomware attacks the IBM i, steps you can take to protect against ransomware and how to respond when you’re attacked. You’ll learn:  

• How ransomware attacks IBM i file systems

• Critical IBM i security settings that protect your system from ransomware

• Recovery techniques and best practices to consider when an attack occurs

• Preventing, stopping, and isolating IBM i ransomware activity in real-time
