Security Secure OS 2200 Systems

Never has security been more important than it is today. A primary objective of virtually every organization is ensuring secure business operations.

Information Security

IT security focuses on information itself – safeguarding its integrity, making sure it’s not misused and ensuring its availability.

To secure your information systems – yet still allow the vital access needed to support your overall business – you can take definitive steps to:

• Prevent security problems
• Thwart all attackers
• And monitor for any evidence of attacks taking place

Security in the Architecture

If you’re already a ClearPath client, you’re likely to know that security is at the core of these systems. In fact, security is designed into the architecture, the operating system and the database and communications structures of ClearPath systems. Their resistance to outside attacks is proven: No virus damage on any ClearPath mainframe has been reported to any independent agency tracking such information. They are resistant to viruses, worms and the introduction of damaging code to which other systems are vulnerable.

ClearPath systems are also protected against inside security breaches that can cause even more damage than outside attacks. With vigilant security policies and the OS 2200 operating system’s extensive security capabilities, you can protect your system resources and data against malicious or careless internal users as well as outsiders.

Security-related events are recorded and made available for auditing. When unauthorized persons attempt to access files or perform other disallowed operations, they are denied access and events are logged in a way that lets you track each event back to its source.

On these System Security pages, you’ll have an opportunity to learn more about the major security capabilities, features and solutions that ClearPath mainframes can and do contribute to your secure business operations.
