Firewall Security Software

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

SEA's Firewall security software protects and secures all types of access, to and from the System i, within or outside the organization, under all types of communication protocols. This robust, cost-effective firewall solution is by far the most intuitive and easy-to-use security software product on the market today. As part of iSecurity’s intrusion prevention system, Firewall manages user profile status, secures entry via pre-defined entry points, and profiles activity by time. Its “top-down” functional design and intuitive logic creates a work environment that even System i novices can master in minutes. Firewall features a user-friendly, Java-based GUI in addition to the traditional green-screen interface.

THE FIREWALL SOLUTION

Technological advances of recent years forced IBM to open up the System i to the rest of the world. This new access to System i data brought with it many of the security risks inherent in distributed environments. System administrators need to equip themselves with a new generation of security tools to combat these evolving threats.

Firewall security software enhances the native System i by controlling access via all known external sources and controlling precisely what users are permitted to do once access is granted.

KEY FEATURES OF FIREWALL SECURITY SOFTWARE

• Incoming and outgoing TCP/IP address filtering for Internet, FTP, REXEC, Telnet, and DHCP

ers alerts and proactive responses to the security administrator via MSGQ, email or cell phone
• Customizable password dictionaries containing common or system specific words that cannot be used as passwords
• User Management capabilities containing comprehensive information and management of all user profiles, including sign-on time control
• Terminal screen security that protects unattended terminal screens, including PCs running terminal emulation software, from unauthorized use
• Built-in business intelligence tool that enables IT managers to graphically analyze security related system activity quickly and easily

User Security

• User-to-server security for all server functions and exit points
• Verb support provides control over the execution of commands for specific servers
• Internal profile groups simplify rule creation for specific groups of users
• DDM/DRDA security including pre- and post- validation user swapping

• “Best-Fit” algorithm minimizes throughput delays by rapidly and efficiently applying security rules
• Rule Wizards dramatically simplify security rule definition
• State-of-the-art intrusion prevention guards against hackers
• Standard firewall protection provides IP address and SNA name filtering
• Protects both native and IFS objects - all of your databases are secured
• Remote logon security limits IP address to specific users at specific times
• Automatic sign-on with alternate user profile (usually with restricted authorities) enhances security when authorize users connect from remote locations
• Powerful report generator and scheduler
