Did you know that a large percentage of systems are not configured correctly for proper security? Is yours one of them?
Our State of System i Security Study found:
· 73% of libraries have the Default Create Authority set to *CHANGE, giving the average user change rights to newly created files.
· Half of all systems have more than 16 users with default passwords that can be easily determined by any attacker.
· 27% of systems do not set an expiration time for passwords--meaning that users are never forced to change their password.
