COMMON Fall Conference & Expo

Network Communications security is a necessity for nearly everyone in at least some scope, and this session will look at some of the technology and tools available on the IBM i OS

TLS network encryption is a very important part of the security picture, and we will look at some protocol details, managing the communications network encryption environment on your IBM i OS, differentiating what is available and how the configuration approach differs at the differing IBM i OS releases, and what is the latest coming in the TLS encryption protocol. We will also briefly look at sniffer traces showing different connection handshakes.

Depending on available time we may also look at other Networking Security topics like Intrusion Detection, IP Filtering & NAT with Packet Rules and VPN.

Learning Objectives:
1. This session will allow the participant to understand the Transport Security topic terminology and implementation better
2. How to manage the Transport Security environment on the IBM i OS
3. Knowledge of other IBM i OS Network Security topics.
