Experts in IBM i Security.
While IBM Power Systems are generally less susceptible to viruses due to the unique architecture and proprietary operating system, IBM i (previously AS/400 or iSeries), they are not entirely immune from cyber threats.
Running on IBM Power, your IBM i environment may be connected to your Intel, Linux, or Opensource platforms, which could be on-premises, hosted, SaaS or outsourced. You may also share data with external business partners.
Connectivity across your network provides many pathways into your IBM i servers holding your key applications and data. On a good day all of the layers of security in your environment will be configured and patched correctly and in a timely manner to protect your IBM i server.
If however, your environment is targeted, it only takes a single misconfiguration through human error, or lack of knowledge, to grant access to bad actors. They can steal or encrypt your IBM i data or even damage the OS to a point where it has to be restored.
Marketing Leading IBM i Security Services
Our technicians have more than 35 years experience in delivering secure IBM i platforms.
Secure Your IBM i Workloads.
As a minimum protection for your IBM i LPARs and data you should only allow authorised users and services to access the IBM i LPARs and ensure they remain protected from malware and ransomware. This line of defence is a basic requirement of compliance frameworks – a software firewall for the IBM i server and LPARs.
