An Audit A Day Keeps the Lawyers at Bay!
Ulf Heinrich
GDPR, GLB HIPAA PCI-DSS Basel III Sarbanes-Oxley CA SB1386 Federal Information Security Management Act “Red Flag” Rules (FRCA)5 are facing us with serious requirements to protect the data we're hosting and to be able to report on a variety of criteria the Auditors may ask for. There's different ways and tools that promise to be able to do it, but what can they really do and what are the associated costs? This presentation introduces Db2 technology exploitation that delivers DML, DDL, DCL activity in a Db2 environment along with identification details. This presentation helps you understanding the way Auditors look at Db2 and what they need to do their daily work. Learn how you can satisfy your Auditors needs, by interfacing with a SIEM system, like QRadar, Splunk, AlienVault, et al, combining the Db2 information with RACF, SMF and Master Log data.
ZOWE – The zGui (r)evolution - First hands on experience and best practices
Ulf Heinrich
The evolution of the mainframe had a variety of GUI approaches, some lasted for a while, some never took off at all. However, it was never THE COMMON ecosystem used by all products and all vendors. At the 2018 SHARE, IBM, Rocket Software and CA Technologies announced ZOWE – THE z ecosystem to securely manage, control, script and develop. Of course, an announcement is probably not the final truth, but from what I’ve already seen and used I’m more than enthused. This presentation shows you the basics you need to understand ZOWE, summarizes the steps you need to use it and illustrates how ISPF online and batch applications are supported from the GUI world.
