Albert Lee, co-founder of xkoto, talks at the IOD conference about how their Gridscale solution is helping InGrid implement continuous availability and scale-out capabilities.
evelopment team, this book gives DBAs and their managers a wealth of security information that is available nowhere else. It presents real-world implementation scenarios, step-by-step examples, and expert guidance on both the technical and human sides of DB2 security.
This book’s material is organized to support you through every step of securing DB2 in Windows®, Linux®, or UNIX® environments. You’ll start by exploring the regulatory and business issues driving your security efforts, and then master the technological and managerial knowledge crucial to effective implementation. Next, the authors offer practical guidance on post-implementation auditing, and show how to systematically maintain security on an ongoing basis.
Coverage includes
* Establishing effective security processes, teams, plans, and policies
* Implementing identification and authentication controls, your first lines of defense
* DB2 in Windows environments: managing the unique risks, leveraging the unique opportunities
* Using the new Label Based Access Control (LBAC) of DB2 9 to gain finer-grained control over data protection
* Encrypting DB2 connections, data “in flight,” and data on disk: step-by-step guidance
* Auditing and intrusion detection: crucial technical implementation details
* Using SSH to secure machine-to-machine communication in DB2 9 multi-partitioned environments
* Staying current with the latest DB2 security patches and fixes

on describing how a particular database security feature works. Customers are often left confused as to when to use what technology - and what security issues each feature is helping them tackle. This has prompted us to build the IBM Data Security Server Blueprint: an easy to use document that can greatly simplify security planning for users of DB2 and IDS data servers. The blueprint outlines the major threats to a data server, and the recommended countermeasures direct from the Lab security teams. The authors of the blueprint will discuss how it was developed, how it works, and most importantly how you can use it to help lock down your data server. Our speakers for this session will be Sal Vella, Vice President, DB2 Development for Linux, Unix and Windows and Business Intelligence; Walid Rjaibi, Security Architect and Relational Data Services Development; and Belal Tassi, WW DB2 Technical Evangelist.
