Ensuring PCI, SOX and HIPAA Compliance

Lack of compliance can trigger legal penalties and fines.
For more information, see the following documents:

Viruses, the Operating System and the Integrated File System
Standard PC anti-virus software only searches PC-bases files, which is just a partial solution in environments where the iSeries stores PC files. These files can then be accessed by any user connected to an iSeries who may then become infected by one of these virus-infected files. Therefore, additional server security is critical for providing a complete anti-virus solution for your iSeries.
