Assure Security Risk Assessment

Given the increasing frequency of cyber attacks, it is essential to regularly conduct security risk assessments as part of a comprehensive IT security program.

In fact, many compliance regulations, such as PCI DSS and HIPAA, require annual IT risk assessments. Unfortunately, not all security auditors understand the special security features of IBM i, and not all IBM i administrators have the knowledge or the time to conduct regular, thorough security assessments.

Assure Security Risk Assessment, a core component of Assure Security, is an essential tool for any organization that wants to proactively understand its IBM i security risks without overloading IT managers or hiring external consultants. It checks over a dozen categories of security values, reports on findings and makes recommendations. Sufficient detail is provided to guide technical staff on remediation, while managers receive a higher-level summary of risk level.

The days when the IBM i was an isolated platform communicating through proprietary protocols are gone. Modern IBM i systems are highly connected through standard network and open-source protocols. This opens a wide variety of access points to the worldwide hacker community, who recognise the high value of data residing on an IBM i.
Having too many powerful user profiles leaves the security of your IBM i system and data exposed. In fact, security and compliance auditors prefer that IBM i users be given only the authorities required to perform their jobs, and that they be granted additional authority only when needed and only for the time required.
As stories of data breaches caused by exploited credentials continue to make headlines, it is clear that basic password protection mechanisms are no longer good enough. Organisations require an additional layer of protection that is also easy to use and doesn’t impose an additional burden on administrators.
