Stream: Virtual Room 8
Time: 12:00 - 13:00
Presentation
In today’s interconnected world, securing your organization’s data is paramount. As the backbone of many critical applications, IBM Db2 databases require robust security measures to protect sensitive information. In this presentation, we delve into various aspects of Db2 security, from foundational concepts to advanced features. Join us as we explore the following key areas:
1. Db2 RACF Security:
- Understand the integration of Db2 with RACF (Resource Access Control Facility) for user authentication and authorization.
- Learn how RACF provides fine-grained access control, ensuring that only authorized users can interact with Db2 resources.
2. Privilege Management:
- Explore best practices for managing user privileges within Db2.
- Discuss role-based access control (RBAC) and how it simplifies privilege assignment.
3. Row-Level Permissions and Column Masks:
- Discover how Db2 enables granular control over data access at the row and column levels.
- Learn about row permissions and column masks, allowing you to restrict data visibility based on user roles.
4. Encryption:
- Dive into Db2’s encryption capabilities to safeguard data both at rest and in transit.
- Explore encryption algorithms, key management, and integration with hardware security modules (HSMs).
5. Auditing:
- Understand the importance of auditing database activities.
- Explore Db2’s audit features, including monitoring user actions, tracking changes, and maintaining an audit trail.
6. Db2 Hacking:
- Discuss common security vulnerabilities and potential attack vectors.
- Learn how to proactively defend against unauthorized access, SQL injection, and other threats.
7. Security Objects:
- Explore Db2 security objects such as schemas, tables, views, and indexes.
- Understand their role in access control and privilege assignment.
8. Advanced Security Features:
- Delve into advanced security options, including trusted contexts, trusted connections, and data masking.
- Learn how to enhance security while maintaining performance.

I possess over 20 years of extensive and comprehensive experience in the IT industry. My professional journey began in 2005 at GE, where I embarked on my Mainframe career as an operator. Over time, I progressed to the role of Mainframe System Programmer and subsequently, assumed the position of Technical Team Leader. After 12 years in the Mainframe world, I took on a new challenge at Intel, where I played a pivotal role in the project development of HPC computers in the United States. Subsequently, I returned to the Mainframe arena in the Nordea account, where I assumed the position of Mainframe Team Leader and was later promoted to the Head of Mainframe Application Support. Currently, I am serving as a key member of Ensono, where I am responsible for building a team of System Programmers in Poland. In my personal capacity, I am an ardent Mainframe enthusiast with a keen interest in Security, Automation, and Modernization projects.
I am IBM Champion in 2024.
