As security and compliance requirements continue to grow in complexity, organizations are looking for integrated solutions that are purpose-built for enterprise infrastructure. IBM PowerSC is designed to meet those needs on IBM Power servers, and we’re pleased to announce the launch of the new IBM PowerSC Workshop (AN80G), which provides an opportunity to learn the product in depth.

This 3-day, instructor-led course provides hands-on training for administrators, architects, and technical specialists who need to secure AIX and Linux environments running on IBM Power. Participants will gain practical experience with the installation, configuration, and management of IBM PowerSC.

• Security hardening

• Compliance management

• Threat protection

• Multifactor Authentication (MFA)

In addition, it covers advanced capabilities such as File Integrity Monitoring (FIM), allow and block listing, endpoint detection and response (EDR), and anti-malware integration.
