Cybersecurity is a hot topic these days and it’s a top-of-mind concern for most organizations. Let’s say that your organization has spent time implementing cybersecurity measures focused on the current attack methods prevalent in the industry. Are you confident that your current measures will be able to mitigate entirely new attack methods that may arise in the future? Are you confident that your cybersecurity safeguards are complete? Are you confident that there are no “holes” in your security defenses? If a hacker defeats some of your safeguards, do you have other cybersecurity measures that will hinder or prevent the security breach?
If you were able to answer “yes” to all of the previous questions, Bravo! You are a cybersecurity superstar because based on my experience assessing more than a hundred companies throughout the world, I haven’t encountered any organization in the world with your level of outstanding cybersecurity. However, if you were in the vast majority that weren’t able to easily answer “yes” to all of the previous questions, you’ve got some work to do.
IBM Systems Lab Services is in the business of helping clients with their cybersecurity needs. We help clients with short-term onsite or online engagements with tailored solutions following the latest best practices.
But if you’d like to learn more about improving your AIX or Linux operating system security, you may find benefit in attending the virtual TechU October 25-28, 2021. .
In the Best Practices for AIX and Linux Security session, I will:
- Discuss how “defense in depth,” the most critical concept for achieving excellent cybersecurity, can be used to improve your cybersecurity
- Discuss CIS Controls and how they can be used to improve your AIX/Linux security
- Discuss CIS Benchmarks and how they can be used to improve your AIX/Linux security
- Discuss how CIS Implementation Groups can be used to improve your security in a step-by-step methodology
- Discuss some of the most important tooling related to AIX and Linux security such as SELinux, PowerSC Security Hardening, AIX Trusted Execution and PowerSC Multi-factor Authentication
Cybersecurity is a vital part of a successful and protected organization. I would be happy to help you in your efforts and get you to superstar status.
