Systems Management
The AS/400 can run smoothly for years! However, don't let its reliability blind you to some exposures that can prove disastrous if not corrected.
I can work with you to make sure these areas of Systems Management are covered:
-
Disaster Recovery
- Are you sure your backup procedures are saving ALL of your data? Are some files being left out?
- Do you have the backup tapes you need to restore your ENTIRE system (software applications and data) if your server or computer room is damaged?
- Are you taking advantage of technology to reduce the chances of your system failing?
- Are you using new technology to make your backups faster or more convenient?
- Do your end users have the authority to do their work but NOT to view, change, or delete classified data?
- Can some users enter commands that they shouldn't?
- Are there users who never change their passwords? For that matter, are there users who haven't signed on in the last year?
- Could a total stranger find your system and actually sign on?
What would happen to your business if your AS/400 or iSeries was destroyed in an earthquake or other catastrophe? You may be risking your business on the answers to these questions:
Security Planning and Auditing
The AS/400 is famous for being free from viruses. However your system is still at risk if a disgruntled employee can see or alter sensitive data.
