| System i Security Compliance |
Enforcive Policy Compliance Management make System i Security initiatives a breeze. Its predefined templates, alerts, automated compliance checking and reporting makes SOX, PCI, FIPS, Cobit and other regulation compliance almost effortless. Enforcive (formerly BSafe) compliance templates can be modified to address any IBM security requirements. Templates can enforce your policies across any number of LPARs, remote systems and groups of LPARs and systems. Templates can be used to monitor and enforce your policies for: System Values, User Profiles, User Auditing, Object Authority, Object Auditing, Authorization List, IFS and Ports.

- Permits
Enterprises to maintain a documented security policy which can be
instantly displayed or printed for management and auditors.
- Gives
auditors and management the tools to ensure corporate policy isn't just
confined to a document.
- Provides
auditors and executives who are not System i experts the ability to
assess and resolve security risks without having to rely on other
resources.
- Allows
you to efficiently revise and add security policies on a massive scale
for multiple systems your organization has adopted.
- Improved
Synergy between Business and Technology Units
- Accelerated
Compliance Implementation
- Reduced
Security and IT operating costs
- Protection
of Consumer Data (PCI, State Privacy Regulations)
- Ensuring
Data Integrity (SOX)
- Centralized
Security Policy Management (PCI, SOX, GLBA, Canadian Bill 198, etc.)
- Streamlined
Management of Power User Capabilities (SOX, HIPAA, Basel II, COBIT)
The
capabilities provided by the Policy Compliance Manager eliminates the
redundant maintenance tasks of Monitoring, Fixing and Reporting of
deviation from a policy. It will not only save you countless man hours
each month to adhere to compliance regulations it eliminates the
complexities. Some compliance related benefits that can be achieved
through the use of the template methodology include:
Once
installed, you have immediately have access to a number of compliance
regulation specific templates of which you can run a real-time check
for policy deviations of any local or remote system or you may choose
to schedule a maintenance check frequency. Any predefined template can
be modified for your specific needs or you may create additional
templates using the template wizard in under a minute. Once the
compliance templates are in place, system administrators, security
officers and auditors can view real-time deviations or run of all
iSeries systems throughout the enterprise.
Enforcive's
Security Policy Templates can be defined for:
|
1.
System Values

6.
User Profiles
|
|
2.

If
you are required to be notified of any deviations to a policy, Enforcive
provides a host of intrusion detection and alerting mechanisms to
enable real-time security and compliance monitoring through e-mail,
text messages and system driven responses such as disabling a user or
revoking special authority status for particularly egregious
violations, calling your custom program, sending a message to data
queue, sending a message to a message queue or by sending it to a SNMP
trap.
Enforcive's Policy Compliance Manager will allow you to enforce and maintain your security policies efficiently.
For
IBM OS Version 5 Release 4 and Higher
There
are NO special prerequisites for any Enforcive product or module for OS400 V5R4 or higher.
For
OS/400 Version 5 Release 3 & Release 2 PTF Level
For
the PC Client Module to operate correctly, the appropriate level of PTF
for the HTTP server must be installed, depending on your version of
OS/400.
Client Access PTF Level:
It
is important that all PC's using IBM Client Access have the latest PTFs
installed otherwise various problems may occur. One common example is
the RMTCMD server request being made by Client Access when logging on
to Telnet. The following page on the IBM
website contains reference to the latest PTFs.:
www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/iseries/access/casp.html
IBM
i (iSeries and AS/400) System Requirements
1.
IBM i computer running Release 5.1, or higher.
2. TCP/IP communication.
3. Active HTTP server (OS/400 or Apache)
4. A user with SECOFR authority.
Disk
Space Required on the Server
The
approximate disk space required on the server for the Enterprise
Security program libraries is as follows:
RMTOBJ:
122MB
RMTSMP: 328MB
Initial
disk space required for the Enterprise Security data library is as
follows:
RMTFIL:
280MB
Note:
This library will grow in size due to the addition of security
definitions, through logging of network traffic and through system
audit logging if the system journal has been defined in this library.
The following sections discuss various approaches towards keeping disk
growth under control.
The
full list of access control functions which are covered by the product
can be seen by looking at the product main screen, then drilling down
to view the sub-functions. This is covered in depth in the product
help. The degree of logging done can be controlled in several different
ways. Each of the above applications can be set to log all access or
rejections alone.
Additionally,
each application can be set to log the first time access for a user, or
every single access. This flexibility allows you to find the balance
between maximum auditing on the one hand and minimum overhead on the
other. It should be remembered too that whatever the degree of network
access to your iSeries and whatever degree of logging you choose to
define, the log file can be purged at any time in accordance with
parameters you define and can even set to automatic purging using the
iSeries scheduler.
As a
final consideration, normal interactive network access doesn\'t
generally result in a rapid growth rate of the log file. What would
cause this to increase substantially is a very large number of client /
server users simultaneously querying or updating the database through
ODBC / Websphere or any kind of batch operation. In these cases, it
would be more of a necessity to define a reduced level of logging as
described above.
The
other areas of disk expansion which need to be considered are the
system journal and the iSeries file journals. These can be nicely
managed from Enterprise Security but the underlying mechanism is OS/400
or i/OS objects. This means the journal size will be the same whether
managed through Enterprise Security or IBM i native screens.
PC
Client Requirements
- Operating
system - Windows 2000, 2003, XP, Vista, Windows 7 or later.
- TCP/IP
communication to the iSeries or AS/400.

DDM
Setup
Certain
operations in Enterprise Security involve communication between two IBM
i computers via DDM. These operations include remote compliance
checking and replication of user profiles, passwords and definitions.
