Leverage Your Security Expertise in IBM System z Mainframe Environments<br />
<br />
For over 40 years, the IBM mainframe has been the backbone of the world’s <br />
largest enterprises. If you’re coming to the IBM System z mainframe platform <br />
from UNIX, Linux, or Windows, you need practical guidance on leveraging its <br />
unique security capabilities. Now, IBM experts have written the first <br />
authoritative book on mainframe security specifically designed to build on your <br />
experience in other environments.<br />
<br />
Even if you’ve never logged onto a mainframe before, this book will teach you <br />
how to run today’s z/OS operating system command line and ISPF toolset and use <br />
them to efficiently perform every significant security administration task. <br />
(Don’t have a mainframe available for practice? This book’s companion Web site <br />
contains step-by-step videos walking you through dozens of key techniques.)<br />
<br />
The authors illuminate the mainframe’s security model and call special attention <br />
to z/OS security techniques that differ from UNIX, Linux, and Windows. They <br />
thoroughly introduce IBM’s powerful Resource Access Control Facility (RACF) <br />
security subsystem and demonstrate how mainframe security integrates into your <br />
enterprise-wide IT security infrastructure. If you’re an experienced system <br />
administrator or security professional, there’s no faster way to extend your <br />
expertise into “big iron” environments.<br />
<br />
Coverage includes<br />
<br />
* Mainframe basics: logging on, allocating and editing data sets, running <br />
JCL jobs, using UNIX System Services, and accessingdocumentation<br />
* Creating, modifying, and deleting users and groups<br />
* Protecting data sets, UNIX file system files, databases, transactions, and <br />
other resources<br />
* Manipulating profiles and managing permissions<br />
* Configuring the mainframe to log security events, filter them <br />
appropriately, and create usable reports<br />
* Using auditing tools to capture static configuration data and dynamic <br />
events, identify weaknesses, and remedy them<br />
* Creating limited-authority administrators: how, when, and why<br />
