  • Kisco Hooks SafeNet Into IBM’s SIEM

    May 6, 2014 Alex Woodie

    Kisco Information Systems is shipping a new release of its IBM i exit point security solution that hooks into IBM‘s QRadar security information and event management (SIEM) offering. The integration will enable SafeNet/i customers to get a more complete picture of attempts to compromise perimeter defenses.

    SafeNet/i is a network security tool that locks down potentially dangerous routes of access to the IBM i server, such as SQL, ODBC, and FTP connections. The software logs all exit point activity, and also uses IBM journaling to keep an irrefutable log of any configuration changes made to the security tool itself.

    With version 10.11, Kisco introduced several new features, including integration with IBM’s QRadar offering, a SIEM that consolidates and correlates network security event information from multiple devices. With the new integration, IBM i security event information collected by SafeNet/i can now be made available to QRadar to provide a more accurate picture of potential cyber attacks. Kisco is not the first IBM i security software vendor to hook into QRadar, but this move gives Kisco customers more options to bolster their perimeter defenses.

    The new release also brings new sequencing options that will be useful for object-level testing. Prior to this release, customers could only use the standard progression of testing provided by the software, Kisco says. With version 10.11 the company is providing “multiple sequence checking options that allow the customer to tailor object checking to their own unique needs.”

    Another new feature is the capability to provide specific object authorization paths for native IBM i object checking. Previously, the product didn’t differentiate between native IBM i object authorization paths and IFS object authorization paths. Separating the two makes for easier administration and reporting, and also makes it faster.

    Finally, SafeNet/i also brings new features designed to improve segregation of duties when using user profile swapping. With this release, SafeNet/i can now be set up to be server dependent, meaning a user profile can be swapped for one specific server, but not for others.

    SafeNet/i version 10.11 is available now in Lite and standard versions. The standard version delivers more powerful network security at the object level; finer-grained control over SQL verbs, CL and FTP commands, and full support for the Web-Central browser interface. The Lite version costs $1,295, while the standard version starts at $2,495. For more information see www.kisco.com.

    When it comes to consuming web APIs on your IBM i, your options often boil down to one of two things:

    First, you end up having to rely on a variety of open source and non-RPG solutions. This adds developer complexity, taking away time that could have been better spent invested in other projects. Of course, open source software is free, but generally comes at the cost of no professional support, which adds an element of risk in your production environment. RXS is completely professionally supported, and is complemented by a staff of trained IBM i developers who can address your nuanced development challenges, head on.

    Second, if you choose not to pursue an open-source solution, you’re often left having to shake up your current program architecture with proprietary software, external dependencies, and partial RPG implementations – many of which are sub-par compared to RPG-XML Suite’s wide range of features. RXS aims to simplify the efforts of developers with tools like code generators, useful commands, and subprocedures written in 100% RPG – no Java. Because they are entirely RPG, the RXS subprocedures are easy to add to new or existing ILE programs and architecture, helping to cut your development time. RPG-XML Suite offers powerful capabilities in an accessible, easy-to-implement format.

    With RPG-XML Suite, you can accomplish a variety of complex tasks, such as:

    • Calling REST and SOAP web services from your IBM i
    • Offering APIs from your IBM i
    • Creating JSON & XML
    • Parsing JSON & XML
    • Text manipulation, Base64 encoding/decoding, CCSID handling, hashing and encryption functions, and more.

    To try RXS for yourself, we recommend a free proof of concept, which not only gives you access to all of RPG-XML Suite’s subprocedures and utilities but also includes a tailor-made software demonstration that can be used as a starting point for your future API implementations.

    For a free proof of concept, contact us at sales@krengeltech.com, or visit our website for more information.
