This IBMa® Redbooksa® publication documents the strength and value of the IBM security strategy with System z hardware and software. In an age of increasing security consciousness, IBM System z provides the capabilities to address the needs of today`s business security challenges. This publication explores how System z hardware is designed to provide integrity, process isolation, and cryptographic capability to help address security requirements. We highlight the features of z/OS and other operating systems that offer a variety of customizable security elements within the framework of the security server and communication server components. We discuss z/OS and other operating systems and additional software that leverages the building blocks of System z hardware to provide solutions to business security needs.
This publication`s intended audience is technical architects, planners, and managers who are interested in exploring how the security design and features of System z, the z/OS operating system, and associated software address current issues such as data encryption, authentication, authorization, network security, auditing, ease of security administration, and monitoring.
