Organizations around the world are waking up to the business impact of lax cybersecurity: unexpected downtime, lost productivity, resources tied up in lawsuits and data breach notifications. That was evident this year, when a record-setting 79% of IBM i pros surveyed ranked cybersecurity as a top concern in this year’s IBM i Marketplace Survey.
Now in its 21st year, the newly released 2024 State of IBM i Security Study, by global cybersecurity software and service provider Fortra, reveals concrete, impartial data about how IBM i systems are protected and where the gaps remain, andprovides compelling insight into the security posture of 148 IBM i server partitions – systems that are used to host business-critical applications, and that often house electronic personal health information (ePHI), financial data, and personally identifiable information (PII).
My advice would be to set aside some time to read the State of IBM i Security Study as it’s pretty eye opening. And it may give you some ideas as to where to look for gaps and fill them before threat actors look for said gaps and exploit them.
