Security Performance Compliance Simplicity

• Protection against misuse of privileged user credentials: Blockchain operating environments and data are protected by secured service containers against access and abuse by root users, system administrator credentials and other privileged user access. These Blockchain instances are locked so they must deployed to system models configured to our high security settings.

• Malware protection: Blockchain data and software is protected from malware being installed.

• Protection of peers from one another: Blockchainpeers are able to run in protected, isolated environments to prevent deliberate or unintentional leakage of information from one party's environment to another.

• Key safety: Identity, communications, and data privacy are safeguarded by having all keys in a secure services container. For our general-availability release, key security will be further enhanced by implementing “secure key” using our tamper-resistant crypto-card (certified to highest level - FIPs 140-2 Level 4).

• Hardware accelerators:Crypto optimization supports an environment that moves hashing and symmetric encryption to accelerators and optimizes digital signatures to reduce drain on CPU performance.

• Highly auditable operating environment:Hardware and firmware audit logs provide information about any critical actions done to system such as replacing hardware or changing configurations. This allows such changes to be audited, including verification of unauthorized actions.

• Open-source Hyperledger code along with a single, integrated stack.

How we deliver valueBenefit Value How

Prevent Edward Snowden-type attack

Protection against misuse of privileged user credentials

Our differentiation is that IBM Secure Service Containers prevent system admins with access to the hardware from disabling the restrictions as it is possible on other environments:• No access to the data store• No ability to modify any of the code in the container• All data leaving the container is encrypted

HOW: We do this by encrypting all data on the disk; only the machine hardware has the keys—there are no keys accessible to privileged users. Only authorized APIs are available (not the underlying software). For example on other systems, system admins can disable SELinux on the Redhat Enterprise Linux, then get full access to the system.

Data Privacy Participants in a business network can’t see each other’s private data

Because each peer in the network has a copy of all data from all parties, we do not want the owner of each peer to be able to look at the data stored in the peer. The container prevents the machine owner from peeking /viewing the raw data. The only thing a peer owner can do is start or stop a peer.

HOW: All peer data and code is encrypted all the time. The peer owner does not have the keys.

IBM Multi-Factor Authentication for z/OS V1R2Higher assurance authentication for IBM z/OS systems with RACF

• IBM Multi-Factor Authentication on z/OS provides a way to raise the assurance level of z/OS and applications / hosting environments by extending RACF to authenticate users with multiple authentication factors.

• Support for multiple third-party authentication systems at the same time• RSA® Ready supporting RSA SecurID® Tokens (hardware & software based)• IBM TouchToken – Timed One time use Password (TOTP) generator token• Support PIV/CAC cards - Commonly used to authenticate in the Public Sector

enterprises; leverages out of band authentication infrastructure – New with V1R2• Tightly coupled with SAF & RACF

• RACF provides the configuration point to describe multi-factor authentication requirements down to a per User ID basis

• Deep RACF integration for configuration and provisioning data stored in RACF database allowing seamless back-up and recovery, and remote management

Typical Client Use Cases:• Enable strong authentication for employees that carry iOS devices with TouchID, RSA

SecurID token generators, or PIV/CAC cards for system authorization.• Provides multi-factor authentication in support of PCI-DSS requirements for personnel

with non-console administrative access to the systems handling card data.

Fast, flexible, deeply integrated, easy to

deploy, easy to manage, and easy to

use.

Achieve regulatory compliance such as HSPD-12, PCI-DSS reduce risk to critical

applications and data.

Architecture supports multiple third-party

authentication systems at the same time

IBM z Systems Cyber Security Analytics BetaA cognitive solution, developed by IBM research, which learns user behavior over time. By establishing a baseline of normal user activity, the solution can automatically identify anomalies and identify possible threats posed by rogue insiders or attackers using compromised administrator credentials.

Currently in beta, this offering will be delivered to a limited set of z13 and z13s customers as a service.• Customers collect and send 3-4 months of SMF / Access Monitor data to IBM• IBM Research will run the data through the analytics engine

• Analysis and reports will be reviewed with the client, highlighting any anomalies that should be investigated
