ABSTRACTS
The Seriousness of Securing your
VM Environment Using Audit Data
If ignored, this can lead to jail time or being on the
cover of the New York Times or CNN and not in a
good way. Cybercrime is the greatest threat to every
company in the world, and one of the biggest
problems with mankind. The financial and customer
impact is growing exponentially, don’t be another
statistic. Discover how to identify and utilize audit
records to secure your environment.
Attacking Encryption:
Understanding risk and making
intelligent choices
Unless you’ve been asleep for the last decade, you’re
aware that computer systems – enterprise and
personal – are under attack from bad actors, ranging
from script kiddies to state-sponsored teams.
Encryption is one of the layers of defense keeping
data from being stolen, disclosed, and monetized.
Yet we also hear about encryption weaknesses, in
popular-press stories and more formal reports such as
CVEs (“Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures”)
maintained by the United States Department of
Homeland Security (DHS).
What does it mean to “attack” encryption and how is
it done? How do you decide what’s realistic, and
choose the right encryption approach for a given use
case?
This session discusses types of encryption attacks at a
non-crypto-geek level. It aims to help mere mortals
gain a comfort level with the terminology, to help
realistically appraise news stories about various crypto
compromises, and to learn how to make good crypto
choices.
Z who cannot be named
Watch this space.
Roadmap to What’s Happening
with VM
Industry initiatives drive progress. FFind out what
drives the VM:Manager Suite to manage your VM
environment. Join us for an informative roadmap
session and discover what we have done, what we are
currently doing and what the future looks like for the
VM:Manager Suite.
zPRO V4 – High Octane On-prem
Private Cloud for Linux on Z
There are three big problems we are all facing:
management decisions to move everything to “the
cloud” and off Z, finding people with z/VM skills to
keep existing Linux farms going, and very few (one!)
reliable and easy products to manage your Z cloud.
zPRO Version 4 is ready to help solve these problems
and more. In this session hear stories about actual
customers utilizing zPRO for their cloud that not only
freed up precious time, but also helped Linux on
z/VM flourish. zPRO from Velocity Software has
been developed by, and for system admins and end
users alike to enable them to build and manage Linux
on Z servers quickly and easily. You will hear how fast
you can install and set up zPRO and how it can be
used on any z/VM system, with or without a directory
or security manager and how you can “plug it in” to
other virtual server management systems with our
RESTful APIs. Plus, with zPRO Version 4, you only
need to be logged on to one system to manage ALL
your enterprise z/VM systems running Linux servers.
