Your greatest threat may come from within.


In the age of HIPAA, SOX, and PCI, every company needs a security policy that controls data access. Ideally, you want to restrict access to your critical data to only the users who need it to do their job.

 

PowerTech’s most recent IBM i security study revealed that approximately 43% of the systems studied were monitoring traffic through exit points. However, those systems were monitoring only 28% of the total number of network access exit points, leaving large gaps in their security coverage. Network Security is the industry-leading exit program solution for monitoring network traffic to your Power Systems servers. It allows you to restrict user access to critical data from PCs, and audit end-user access across the network through common services like ODBC, FTP, and DDM.

 

Protect your company by tracking, monitoring, and controlling access to your critical data with Network Security.

 

Combine Network Security with PowerTech Interact, and your security solution interfaces seamlessly with enterprise security consoles, such as Internet Security Systems (ISS) Site Protector, to protect your critical data.
