Evaluation Survey

The Integrated File System (IFS) remains one of the most overlooked areas in IBM i security. Many organizations either underestimate the risks posed by an unsecured IFS or lack clarity on how to effectively protect it. This oversight can leave sensitive data vulnerable to unauthorized access, manipulation, malware, and theft. In this session, attendees will learn practical strategies for securing the IFS and discover the tools and configurations necessary to implement robust protections. We’ll also explore the latest security features introduced in IBM i 7.6, which offer expanded capabilities to safeguard the IFS environment.

Learning Objectives:

Learn practical strategies for securing the IFS Discover the tools and configurations necessary to implement robust protections Explore the latest security features introduced in IBM i 7.6
