Enforcive/Enterprise
Security is a suite of integrated iSeries security auditing and access
control tools, providing the most powerful protection on the market and
is simple enough for non-iSeries users to implement and manage. Enforcive
is used by smallest and largest of iSeries shops alike and is ideal for
achieving Sarbanes-Oxley, PCI, GLBA, State Privacy, HIPAA, Cobit and
like compliance regulation initiatives. Enforcive's simple point-n-click
features will cut implementation and ongoing maintenance tasks by more
than half, and with no special training or iSeries experience
necessary. That's right, no green-screen eperience needed, as quick as
you can Point-n-Click, is about how fast you can implement Object Level
security policies for your users, view network and system events, as
well as run and view reports.

Application
Access is controlled through the Enforcive/Enterprise Security Intrusion
Prevention System (IPS) using exit point and other technologies. It
provides simple to implement (point and click) but tight access
controls to prevent unauthorized requests through TCP/IP and SNA
connections. Access can be restricted by user, group, IP address,
application server/service and specific operations.
The
summary of the iSeries application servers and services protected by
Enforcive/Enterprise Security includes:
Under
TCP/IP: Telnet, FTP, TFTP, Remote Command, Remote SQL,
Database, Data Queue, ODBC, DDM, DRDA, IFS, Signon, File Server,
Central Server, Message Server, Virtual Print, Network Print, WSG
Logon, ShowCase, Sensitive Commands and more.
Under SNA: DDM, Pass through, Data Queue, File Transfer and
DRDA
Under System: Delete Journal Receiver, Power
Down System, System Attention Key, Change Spool File Attributes, End
Job and TCP/IP control.
Access
can be secured down to the level of a single action (e.g. FTP delete,
SQL select statement and OS400 commands. At the object level, access
can be controlled to selected devices, libraries, files, commands,
programs and IFS paths.
Internet Users Control: Enforcive/Enterprise
Security allows management of public internet users for web-based
iSeries applications. This includes creation, updating and deletion of
validation list objects and assigning and removal of users and
passwords.
User Profile Manager: Efficient and
controlled iSeries user management.
Session
Time-Out: Customize different Session Time-Out rules for
different users and groups and the actions to automate.
File Protection: Control access to
iSeries files beyond the restrictions afforded by iSeries object
authority. Allows restriction from any user or user group, including
power users with *ALLOBJ authority and even QSECOFR.
Account Swapping: Temporarily give
individual or group of users the OS/400 object authority and network
permissions of another user, so that the user receives the authorities
of the other user without the need to know powerful user's password.
Enforcive SWAP function also provides a detailed
audit trail of the actual user, related job
information/commands and the reason the SWAP was required.
Inactive User Control: Customize
different Inactivity rules for different users and groups and the
actions to automate. Enforcive allows you to implement unique inactive user
policies for different types of User Accounts and Groups. Once defined,
users of the policy will automatically be disabled and/or deleted from
your system. Inactive user policies can be defined at a system level as
a default and additional optional policy definitions can be defined for
individuals and/or groups. Furthermore, as part of the policy, you can
define how the system will handle the objects owned by the user, by:
calling a customer program, only deleting the user profile if it
doesn't own any objects, delete user profile and the objects it owns or
delete user profile and change the owner of the objects it owns to
another user you define for the policy.
Object
Authorization Manager: Object
authority management made easy.
Port Restriction Manager: Lock down
access to iSeries ports.
Field Masking (optional module): Keep
sensitive field values safe from prying eyes for compliance.
Report
Generator: Enforcive's Report Generator is a very robust and
flexible Report Writer capably of addressing the most demanding
requirements and includes100's of canned, ready-to-run iSeries reports
for System Journal, Network (exit points), Sensitive Files, User
Profiles, Compliance, Policies, Objects, Jobs, IFS, Alerts, PTF's, or
any other file on your system. Customize any existing report or create
one from scratch using Advanced SQL or the built in Wizard.
Report output formats include (PDF, CSV, HTML & Spool
File). The Report Generator includes a built in scheduler
that can be used for individual reports or groups of reports. Reports
can be configured to run on the local system, a remote system or a
group of systems.
Policy
Compliance Manager (optional module): Template-based
control of OS/400 definitions incorporating template definition,
deviation reporting and controlled adjustment. A must for all
compliance policies.
Application
Audit: Detailed reports and
logging (includes details like IP address, user, file, library, even
the
FTP and SQL statements themselves) of network and native exit point
activity with powerful filtering tools.
Application Analyzer: A graphical exit
point traffic "Network" analyzer to understand trends and pinpoint
possible security threats. The Application Analyzer provides
summary forensic information about your users activities, exit points,
policies and IP Address. This data is derived from the
detailed forensics log stored in the Application Audit, which stores
all traffic going in and out of your iSeries via the network (FTP,
ODBC, JDBC, RMTSQL, DDM, PASS-THROUGH, DRDA, File Server, File Transfer
and like OS400 exit points). The analyzer provides a simple means to
investigate and drill down into security issues that typically would be
missed.
File
Audit: Field values can be displayed
in a before and after the change format accompanied by a full
description of the environment at the time of the change including
user, the program through which the change was made and more. The
product has been designed for users who do not possess a deep knowledge
of system commands. You can easily view changes in field values, or
details of deleted and added records.
Enforcive/Enterprise Security File Audit can pinpoint exact changes made
and assist you in making decisions regarding security breaches and the
restoring of corrupted data.
System
Journal Audit: An innovative GUI management tool for
the iSeries System Journal. It provides full supervision of the system
journal including management of journal receivers, audit policy
definition, on-line viewing and reports, comprising dozens of
pre-shipped reports and a generator to create your own custom reports.
The interactive system journal viewer provides retrieval through
filtering by different criteria. The Enforcive/Enterprise Security System
Audit facilitates easy investigation of security breaches and turns a
previously complicated and time-consuming task into a simple and
efficient one.
The powerful report generator allows you to create reports of system
events with the selection criteria you require. Reports can be run
directly or placed on the iSeries scheduler for running later. After
completion the report can be previewed on the screen or printed. The
product ships with dozens of built-in reports already defined. System
audit policy can be changed at the click of the mouse at system, user
and object levels.
Multi-Source Audit History including Read-Record Field Values:
The Central Audit brings together audit information from various
sources to one single point of contact. The system and file journaling
information you extract is available as audit history even when
receivers have been deleted. Other audit data comes from the product
database and includes network access detail, field level contents for
database changes and even read access when no changes were made.
iSeries Inquiries: On-line reports of
object and user authorities to help you identify and close security
risks in your system definitions. All inquiries are run from the GUI
but give a real-time picture of the definitions on your server. This
gives the system administrator a valuable set of tools for pinpointing
any vulnerability in your iSeries system.
The suite of inquiries provides up-to-the-minute reports with
supplementary information to save you looking elsewhere. Examples are
authorization lists by object and by user and the system values inquiry
showing full description, current value, recommended values and policy
group. Other inquiries cover users, environment, policy settings,
passwords, special authorities and library authorities.

<span>Enforcive-PCM-Product_Details_Tab</span>For
IBM OS Version 5 Release 4 and Higher There
are NO special prerequisites for OS 5.4 or higher for
Enforcive/Enterprise Security Suite, Policy Compliance Manager, Data
Provider for Cross-Platform Audit, Data Provider for SYSLOG Server,
Field Masking module, IP Packet Filtering module.
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.
