Where Did the AS400 Security Go?
The iSeries AS400 environment has always been considered as
one of the safest operating systems on the market. However,
connecting, it to the Internet and Intranet and opening it to the
world of eBusiness using tools such as TCP/IP, IFS, TELNET, FTP,
ODBC and FILE TRANSFER, has in fact exposed the iSeries AS400 to
access from external networks without the ability to supervise and
monitor this access.
So What is the Answer?
Bsafe Security for the iSeries AS400
- The Secure Gateway and Internal Firewall Software for
External Access to the iSeries AS400.
- Returns the strong security we had become accustomed to,
back to the iSeries AS400.
- A comprehensive firewall software security solution for
your iSeries environment in the world of Internet and Intranet.
- Specifically designed as an efficient tool for management,
supervision and monitoring of secure access in iSeries
communication.
In the past, you had no way of knowing who
accessed your iSeries AS400 and you were not aware of the degree of
security exposure.
AS400 Security Architecture
Bsafe/Enterprise Security uses client/server architecture. The
essential protection and reporting software resides internally
within the AS400 iSeries, giving native protection while definitions
and control are handled through a friendly and intuitive GUI
interface on one or more PC’s on the network. There is no use of
ODBC in the client/server connection, so ODBC can be restricted as
necessary without hindering the operation of the GUI, while SSL
secures the client/server connection. 
Today, Bsafe secures your iSeries AS400
server and manages a complete and unique Audit Log, maintained by
BSAFE itself, of all external access to your computer through TCP/IP
and SNA.
Bsafe iSeries Provides maximum flexibility
for securing the iSeries AS400 against penetration through
communication on various levels, such as:
| USERS |
Authorizations can be defined on the following levels -
Single user, group of users, group profile, networks and
ip-address. A user can be assigned to more than one logical
group. |
| COMMUNICATION |
Protection is provided against penetration through the
SNA and TCP/IP protocols, for a variety of communication servers
-
TCP/IP - TELNET, FTP, TFTP, REMOTE COMMAND, SQL, DATABASE, DATA
QUEUE, ODBC, DDM,DRDA, IFS etc.
SNA - DDM, PASS-THROUGH, DATA QUEUE, FILE TRANSFER, DRDA, AS400
IN THE NETWORK ETC. |
| ACTIONS |
Authority can be defined for various types of action.
Such as: FTP Path - Delete Library, SQL Statement - Select,
Command - PWRDWNSYS, and more |
