Improving security without an ESM - Register Now

 

Join our own Sam Cohen at the MVMUA virtual meeting on January 18.  He will speak on Improving security with z/VM Directory Changes.

Synopsis:  If you don't want to implement an external security manager (ESM) (like RACF, CA-ACF2, CA-Top Secret), you can still improve system security and auditing by making some basic changes to the z/VM Directory.  This session will cover some techniques for basic improved security, even if you want to later implement an ESM.
