    Companies running IBM i version 7.1 may be up for a rude awakening when they try to establish an encrypted communication session with a trading partner. According to several reports from users, IBM i servers on V7.1 are being blocked from accessing partner systems via SSL/TLS because they’re not using the latest encryption algorithms required by their partners.

  • See Something, Say Something

    February 1, 2017 Larry Bolhuis

    Only so many times can you see something and not say something. Time to say something.

    Most of you know I spend most of my time working on the most reliable, capable, flexible, and modern business system anywhere. And, of course, that would be IBM i on Power Systems. What you may not know is that I spent time driving a bus. I drove a very large bus with a huge wide bumper backed by an air horn.

  • Cilasoft Polishes IBM i Security And Compliance Auditing Software

    February 1, 2017 Dan Burger

    Regulatory compliance mandates have forced many companies to examine their security policies and procedures. But even companies without compliance issues are concerned their data security may be inadequate considering the increased sophistication of the attacks, the integration of their systems of record with their systems of engagement, and the realization that IBM i is not an inherently secure system. The security landscape has changed, says Guy Marmorat, president of Cilasoft, which just updated its security software.

    Additional reporting and automation capabilities are at the top of the list along with expanded integration points and an emphasis on cross-platform security …
