This class shows you how to control, integrate, and evaluate security for z/OS, including: MVS, JES, VTAM, DB2, and CICS.
You can take five different course to learn everything you need to know, or save time and money by just signing up for this one course and learn all the major security sub-systems on your mainframe! This course shows you how each of the system software components operates, how security options are set, how these options relate to other system software, including ACF2/RACF/TopSecret, and how you can verify and evaluate the quality of your mainframe's total security environment.
If you want to be a Data Security Officer, you need to understand MVS Security, JES Security, VTAM Security, DB2 Security, CICS Security, and how they all fit together. This course will teach you all of this, and what you need to do about it to be an effective Data Security Officer. You will learn to address MVS Security as an integrated whole, instead of trying to handle the different components piecemeal.
The 400+ page workbook will become one of the most useful reference manuals on your bookshelf.
