Powerful Profiles
|
|
There's power.
And then there's too much power.
|
|
Too many people with too much access to critical data -
that's one of the most common security lapses uncovered in AS/400
audits.
Implementing some software tools can enforces segregation of duties.
Auditors tend to frown on IT staff writing the reports on
their own activity! So maybe this time home-grown tools will be
out.
|
|
That
is why we bring to the Australian market PowerTech Authority Broker.
It is an innovative tool that companies use to restrict
privileged levels of access to those times when they are really
necessary. Programmers
and IT staff no longer need to have special authorities like *ALLOBJ
just in case they need them for emergency fixes.
Authority
Broker enables administrators to grant special authorities only on
an "as-needed" basis. All actions are fully audited while users are
swapped to the powerful profile.
|
|
The
number of profiles with special authorities can be reduced without
disrupting normal business activity because the "switch profile"
feature allows users to switch to higher authorities as needed.
Managers
can get regular audit reports of activity or even custom alerts when
one of their staff switches to a more powerful profile.

IBM
now ships a trial copy of Authority Broker with every copy of i5/OS.
