NATIVE VIRUS DETECTIONFOR THE iSERIES

powered by McAfee

ExecutivePresentation

“Our customers have understood the value of virus scanning their

PC data from iSeries' operating system, OS/400, for years. I’m

happy that we now have a native solution, provided by a world-class

anti-virus company and a well-respected iSeries Solution Provider,"

said Patrick Botz, Lead OS/400 Security Architect, IBM eServer

iSeries. "Scanning PC data at the file server allows companies to

ensure that their PC data has been scanned with the most up-to-date

DAT and signature files. Hosting the virus scanner on the system

where the data is stored will make scanning easier and less complex

to manage. With StandGuard™ Anti-Virus, administrators will have a

higher level of confidence that appropriate PC data scanning is

actually being done with less administrative overhead.”

In the words of IBM lead OS/400 Security Architect, Patrick Botz...

• A native IBM iSeries server-based virus detection solution

• Scans, detects and removes more than 75,000 known viruses

• Powered by Network Associates McAfee Security virus detection technology

Introducing StandGuard Anti-Virus

The Perfect Host— The iSeries can host viruses

• The iSeries is designed to be compatible with other Windows servers

• A virus can spread thru the IFS the same as Windows operating systems

• Once a virus spreads to the IFS, PC clients can be repeatedly re-infected

Viruses can be embedded in the Integrated File System (IFS)

• WebSphere

You are using the Integrated File System (IFS)

• iSeries Client Access

• TCP/IP

• Java Applications

• Growing Number of iSeries Applications

• Domino

• Operations Navigator

“Computer Economics has tracked the economic impact of computer virus and malicious code attacks for several years. Computer Economics determined that the economic impact of the virus attacks on information systems around the world amounted to $17.1 billion in 2000.”

—Computer Economics, Inc., August 14, 2001

Viruses can seriously affect your company’s bottom line!

• 75,000+ known viruses floating around today

• New virus threat occur each week

• New viruses are being designed to target corporate enterprises

The threats will never go away

Performance

• It takes a PC hours—or even days—to scan the IFS.

• The PC must transfer all of the data over the network, which degrades overall network performance.

PC Scanning Software is Not An Option

Security

• A PC requires a mapped drive to the root file system with *ALLOBJ authority. • This level of access leaves the entire iSeries file system exposed to anyone with access to the PC.

• If the PC gets infected with a virus, that virus gains access to every file on the iSeries.

• A PC also transfers all of the data over the network, which exposes the data to anyone with a network sniffer program, a variety of which are readily available on the Internet.

PC Scanning Software is Not An Option

Stability

A number of problems with a PC-based scanning solution can stop the scanning process entirely

• A lost connection when the iSeries is restarted (IPL’d)

• A ‘pop-up’ warning message

• Lost power; etc.

PC Scanning Software is Not An Option

• Mail Scanning

• Firewalls

• Virus scanning on your clients

Other methods that won’t prevent viruses on the iSeries

We need a solution that is

• Faster

• More secure

• And more stable
