Where to Start with IBM i Security
Hardening system security is impossible if you don’t know where the vulnerabilities are. A free Security Scan from Fortra helps you identify, quantify and prioritize the risks to your IBM i. You’ll find out where your system security currently stands and get expert tips for improvement.
“The free Security Scan from Fortra was far more valuable than anything we've done to this point. Their report summary was also the most well put together analysis we've had in some time.”

Real-World IBM i Security Data
The latest data is in—get real-world insight into IBM i security with Fortra’s State of IBM i Security Study. You’ll learn what tools and strategies organizations are using to secure IBM i and where systems are often left vulnerable.
This annual study is a go-to resource for understanding IBM i security risks and the steps you can take to harden system security.
Users with Powerful Authorities
Auditors check for users with special authorities as part of any standard IBM i audit. So, how many users have *ALLOBJ special authority on the average IBM i system?
Untraceable Access to Data
Without exit programs in place, IBM i users can access sensitive data without traceability. Is exit program adoption still growing?
Ransomware and Other Malware
Ransomware can have a devastating effect, even on IBM i systems. How are organizations protecting themselves against this growing threat?

Ransomware Protection Built for IBM i
Malware and ransomware attacks can halt day-to-day operations, bringing organizations to their knees. Many don’t realize the value of server-level protection until it’s too late. Detect and neutralize threats to your IBM i, AIX and Linux systems with Powertech Antivirus.
Enterprise Scanning Technology
Leverage the power and protection of a commercial-grade scan engine, while supporting the specific features of your operating system. Powertech Antivirus protects your servers from a comprehensive set of viruses, zero-day threats, ransomware, and more. You can be confident knowing that your scan engine is backed by proven technology.
Enhanced Ransomware Protection
Behavior-based ransomware detection protects IBM i from ransomware that originates on systems accessing IBM i through shared drives. State-of-the-art hybrid signatureless detection protects your systems from known and unknown malware attacks.
Flexible Scanning Options
You can choose to scan files dynamically as they are opened or Powertech Antivirus works with any commercial job scheduling solution, so you can decide which directories to scan and when to scan them.
Heuristic Analysis
The enterprise scan engine in Powertech Antivirus uses a behavior-based scan of a file’s code to identify typical traits of exploits to help you catch unknown malware before they cause damage. Even when viruses are too new to be defined, you can stay one step ahead. Heuristic analysis takes note of these malicious behaviors, reporting a possible infection when suspicious activity reaches an established threshold.
Native File System Scanning
In order to prevent scan failure and security issues, it’s important to use a tool built for your operating system’s unique features. Powertech Antivirus is designed specifically to scan Power servers safely and effectively.

Questions about exit points?
We have answers.
QUESTION 1 / 3
Menu security eliminates the need for exit programs.
At Fortra, we get more questions about exit points and exit programs than any other topic related to IBM i security. One common misunderstanding with exit points is that application security or menu security is going to prevent users from connecting to IBM i through services like FTP and ODBC.
In reality, most of those interfaces actually sidestep the menu, sidestep application security, and allow users to access the database directly.
