1313 Db2 z/OS 13 - using profiles to monitor/block unsecure TCPIP connectivity 

Mon October 13, 2025 10:50 AM

Db2 z/OS 13 - using profiles to monitor/block unsecure TCPIP connectivity Db2 13 added enhancements to this feature starting in FL504 or through APAR PH48764. This enables monitoring and blocking unsecure distributed connectivity. Db2 system profiles are a powerful yet flexible tool that’s been around for a long time and this functionality extends that capability. This approach allows partial enforcement without removing the unsecure port which remains the end goal. I’ll explain the feature and demonstrate how one customer utilized this new feature. Learn about their strategy so you can go home and begin locking down your environment. (Sponsored by IDUG)
