iSecurity Journal
Server Application Security & Business Analysis Solution
AP-Journal protects business-critical information from insider threats and from external security breaches. It keeps managers closely informed of all changes in their valuable information assets and streamlines iSeries journaling procedures.
Real-life Situations Where AP-Journal Can Help!
- Who modified PAYMENTS between 20:00 and 06:00 during corporate summer vacation?
- Send an e-mail whenever an employee record - whose SALARY is less than $5000 - is read from file SALARIES.
- Which users - who are not Managers - viewed the confidential PAYMENT_TERMS table since the last business day?
- What changes to the company's production libraries were made via non application-specific utilities such as IBM DFU (this is a SOX-mandated requirement)?
- Provide a customer with a timeline report showing the change history of their MORTGAGE during the last 10 years.
- Send an SMS (and/or SYSLOG, e-mail, SMS, Twitter, SNMP and operator messages) to the company's Chief Security Officer, Manager of IT and Internal Auditor when the PRICE_OF_ITEM changes by more than 4%.

- Monitors changes to objects and members, for example in data areas and in the IFS; support implements additional journal codes such as R=Rcd, E=DA (data area), B=IFS, U=Rd (Read), F=M (member)
- Supports periodic file structure changes to application files, enables monitoring application files across changes to file structures
- Developer can code field-specific exit routines for determining, in real time, whether or not to filter specific journal records.
