Firewall End-to-End Network Access Protection for IBM i

Market Need Hacking Open TCP/IP environment has increased IBM i risks Many remote activities are now easy Initiating commands Installing programs Changing data Moving files Limited ability to log/block unauthorized access Internal Fraud FBI Study: the most significant threat to an organization's information systems comes from inside the company Control and log all user access - a necessity, not “nice to have”

Firewall Features Airtight protection from both external and internal threats Covers more exit points than any other product Protects from User Level to Object Level Protects both Incoming and Outgoing IP addresses Unique layered architecture- easy to use and to maintain Proven excellent performance, especially in large environments User friendly Wizards streamline rule definitions Real historical data enable effective rule definitions Best Fit algorithm formulates rule to suit each security event Detailed log of all accesses and actions Simulation mode Tests all Firewall rules Enables defining rules based upon simulation results Reports in various formats: print, outfile, with HTML/CSV/PDF attachments

Firewall Recent Technical Additions (1/2, not a comprehensive list) SQL Supports entire SQL statement- no maximum length limitation Skip SQL parsing for specific users Performance improvement (up to 80%) for much more faster detection of Firewall rules using special technology for complex SQL update for writing log files SQL long names, using “model libraries” for defining security rules Basic SSH support Activity recorded in real time Supported as a standard Firewall server exit Real time alerts sent as Operator, Syslog, SNMP, Twitter, etc. messages, also and CL script execution Log retrieval via dataqueues provide performance and resource improvements

Firewall Recent Technical Additions (2/2, not a comprehensive list) Report Generator & Scheduler Report of summarized transaction counts per time period Numerous reports and improvements made Indicate Telnet connection SSL (Y/N) New features for Best Fit algorithm; if selected, the change allows obtaining authority from preceding directories, or from any level of a higher generic name Pre-checking library replacements enables defining once and later checking access rules against a single library of authorization rules, instead of defining equivalent rules for many individual libraries
