Unauthorized use of commands can sabotage your system


Commands run your Power Systems server running IBM i. Without them, nothing much would happen. But the unrestricted use of commands can allow users access to data or functions that can severely affect the security of your system.

PowerTech Command Security helps you monitor and secure the use of selected commands. Using Command Security, you identify the commands you want to monitor, specify the conditions under which the command should be secured, and define the actions to take when the conditions are met.
