Short Description:
Shows you how MVS (Multiple Virtual System, IBM's mainframe operating system and the basis for OS/390 and z/OS) security works and gives you a complete audit program to evaluate it
Full Description:
This class shows you how to audit security for MVS (Multiple Virtual System), the most widely used operating system for IBM mainframe computers. (MVS is the core of the OS/390 and z/OS system software packages.)
IBM mainframes and the MVS operating system are flourishing in greater numbers than ever before. Now that they are being connected to the Internet, many of the security assumptions we have relied on ("Well, anyone can read this data, but it's only our employees who can get into the system anyhow") are no longer valid.
This class shows you how to evaluate your organization's MVS security. It explains the three hardware controls which form the basis of all MVS security, how MVS uses the hardware controls, and why IBM gave us backdoors to these controls. You will learn how back doors are often left uncontrolled, how such back doors can be hacked (including a specific example of a common hackers' approach), and how to control the back doors.
You will learn a systematic approach to auditing all this, and to making practical, recommendations for improvement in MVS security.
You will learn:
* How MVS security works and why there are backdoors
* How the hardware controls work, what backdoors exist, and how to find them
* Where the control points are and how to evaluate them
* What data to collect and how to interpret it
* How to conduct the audit, from planning and scoping through follow-up
* What all the related buzzwords and acronyms mean
* How to conduct the audit rapidly and efficiently, with maximum benefit to your organization
The workbook is a valuable reference, and includes a complete audit program.
