Finding and Encrypting Sensitive Fields on System i

It is critical to provide a high level of protection for sensitive data such as credit card numbers, Social Security numbers, bank account numbers and other identity information. Besides maintaining the trust of their customers and employees, it is important that organizations don't fall out of compliance with PCI, HIPAA, GLBA, Sarbanes Oxley and State Privacy laws.

Before you can begin to encrypt sensitive data on your systems, you need to first know all the places it is located. For IBM i customers, this data is likely stored throughout various database files and fields in one or more libraries. Your IT staff may remember the names of some of the files/fields that contain this confidential information, but it is critical that no elements are overlooked. The new Find Database Fields (FNDDBFLD) tool from Linoma Software solves this problem.

In this Webinar, we will show you how FNDDBFLD works and the kind of information it provides. FNDDBFL is a tool offered free of charge from Linoma Software so you can quickly indentify fields in files that contain a certain data structure. For example, you can quickly perform a search for any numeric fields that contain a 16 digit number (e.g. credit card numbers) or perform a search for any alpha fields that contain a numeric pattern like 999-99-9999 or 999999999 (e.g. Social Security numbers or Canadian Social Insurance numbers).

Field Encryption on System i...  Doing it right!

If your programmers used IBM’s APIs to encrypt data on the System i, then your organization is at risk of failing audits and risking sensitive data if you don’t have adequate key management, security controls and audit trails in place.  

During this webcast, we will discuss the latest PCI standards and requirements for protecting sensitive data (e.g. credit card numbers, SSNs, etc.) and managing keys.  We will then point out the pitfalls and dangers that are often found in home-grown encryption solutions.  Towards the end of the webcast, we will demonstrate a more effective approach to encryption and key management with our “Crypto Complete” product.

Securing FTP Transfers 

Secure FTP is a popular method for protecting data transmissions, especially when that data is sent over the internet. During this webinar, we will cover the following topics:

- Vulnerabilities in traditional FTP
- Introduction to the Secure FTP protocols of FTPS and SFTP
- How to authenticate Secure FTP connections
- Key and certificate management
- Automatic error notification
- Logging and audit trails

Towards the end of the webcast, we will also give a brief demonstration of Linoma Software's GoAnywhere product. GoAnywhere is being used by System i customers to quickly set up and automate Secure FTP transmissions without the need for programming or special skills.
