Speaker: Morag Hughson
Session: Set up security for your MQ system
About the session: MQ offers customers comprehensive security options and it often leads to questions about which security features should be used and when. Trying to distill this thought process down into a small worksheet was an interesting process and this presentation follows the process with various iterations of the worksheet. As a result, this presentation will look briefly at the various MQ security features and how they integrate together, and when you might choose to use them. @Morag Hughson hopes the resultant worksheet will lead to conversations in the MQ community as to how it can be improved to help guide people to set up the MQ security that they need.
