  • Aldon Adds IBM i Features to Report Manager

    August 10, 2010 Alex Woodie

    Aldon has beefed up its new Report Manager software with two new features designed to help IBM i development shops better track their code promotion activities. Aldon unveiled the updates last week as part of Report Manager version 1.2.

    The version 1 release of Report Manager was introduced last October as a way to help users of its Lifecycle Manager (including IBM i and open systems versions) products get a better handle on what their developers are doing, and to prepare compliance reports.

    The fact that Report Manager presents information in a Web 2.0-style interface, as opposed to a green 5250 display, is presented as a major ease-of-use benefit to Aldon’s considerable installed base of IBM i, i5/OS, and OS/400 users. This becomes especially important when auditors arrive to inspect systems.

    With last week’s release of Report Manager version 1.2, Aldon has bolstered the product with three new reports, two of which are designed to work with Aldon Lifecycle Manager (IBM i Edition).

    The first new report lists all of the IBM i objects that have been promoted into a specified environment. The second new report lists all of the promotion-related activities that are associated with a given task. Both new reports are listed by object name.

    Aldon added a similar code promotion tracking feature to Aldon Lifecycle Manager (Enterprise Edition), its change management product for open system platforms like Windows, Unix, and Linux. Aldon says it also increased the performance of other aspects of the product.

    CYBER-ATTACKS ON THE RISE. PROTECT WITH THE TRIPLE PLAY.

    COVID-19 has not only caused a global pandemic, but has sparked a “cyber pandemic” as well.

    “Cybersecurity experts predict that in 2021, there will be a cyber-attack incident every 11 seconds. This is nearly twice what it was in 2019 (every 19 seconds), and four times the rate five years ago (every 40 seconds in 2016). It is expected that cybercrime will cost the global economy $6.1 trillion annually, making it the third-largest economy in the world, right behind those of the United States and China.”1

    Protecting an organization’s data is not a single-faceted approach, and companies need to do everything they can to both proactively prevent an attempted attack and reactively respond to a successful attack.

    UCG Technologies’ VAULT400 subscription defends IBM i and Intel systems against cyber-attacks through comprehensive protection with the Triple Play Protection – Cloud Backup, DRaaS, & Enterprise Cybersecurity Training.

    Cyber-attacks become more sophisticated every day. The dramatic rise of the remote workforce has accelerated this trend as cyber criminals aggressively target company employees with online social engineering attacks. It is crucial that employees have proper training on what NOT to click on. Cyber threats and social engineering are constantly evolving and UCG’s Enterprise Cybersecurity Training (powered by KnowBe4) is designed to educate employees on the current cutting-edge cyber-attacks and how to reduce and eliminate them.

    A company is only as strong as its weakest link and prevention is just part of the story. Organizations need to have a quick response and actionable plan to implement should their data become compromised. This is the role of cloud backup and disaster-recovery-as-a-service (DRaaS).

    Data is a company’s most valuable asset. UCG’s VAULT400 Cloud Backup provides 256-bit encrypted backups to two (2) remote locations for safe retrieval should a cyber-attack occur. This is a necessary component of any protection strategy. Whether a single click on a malicious link brings down the Windows environment or an infected SQL server feeds the IBM i, once the data is compromised, there is no going back unless you have your data readily available.

    Recovery is not a trivial task, especially when you factor in the time sensitive nature of restoring from an active attack. This leads to the third play of the Triple Play Protection – DRaaS.  Companies have myriad concerns once an attack is realized and a managed service disaster recovery allows employees to keep focus on running the business in a crisis state.

    The combination of training employees with secure backup and disaster recovery offers companies the best chance at avoiding financial disruption in an age of stronger, more frequent cyber-attacks.

    Reach out to UCG Technologies to discuss your company’s security needs and develop a data protection plan that fits you best.
