Stream: Security
Time: 14:30 - 15:15
The mainframe has earned a phenomenal reputation in security. Some might erroneously presume that z/OS is secure by default. In this interactive session, the audience will be presented with a variety of z/OS-relevant security functions, many provided within the operating system itself, and participants will be invited to describe the attack vector(s) each security function mitigates. And in so doing, we will review the business risks of not defending against those attack vectors, if those security functions are not fully leveraged.
There is currently no attachment for Name That Attack Vector!
