Neither is true! Security expert Carol Woodbury discusses audit configuration, methods for obtaining information out of the audit journal, ways to write reports to help with compliance issues, and tips for using the information in the audit journal to debug day-to-day issues.

Because the IFS does not always follow the traditional i5/OS security model, the security of the IFS is often ignored; therefore, important data may not be secured properly when it is stored in the IFS. Security expert Carol Woodbury describes how IFS security compares to native i5/OS security and how auditing works with IFS objects. She also explains ways to:
- Determine what authority is required to a directory or object
- Remediate (change) from the current authority settings to more-appropriate settings as well as how to determine what the more-appropriate setting might be
- Use i5/OS commands to help you manage IFS security

Compliance is not a one-time event.
Some of you have found this out the hard way. You’ve made it to “compliance” and then sat back and ignored all of the items you worked so hard to implement or modify. A year passes and it’s time to prove compliance again. Because nothing was done to maintain compliance, your efforts are almost as expensive – both in terms of person-hours and actual expense - as the first time.
Through helping our clients – large and small – attain and maintain compliance, Carol created a collection of tips and techniques to help every organization address compliance and assembled them into a book The goal of this book is to help establish a security compliance “lifestyle” so that compliance becomes a habit, not an expensive and time-consuming annual project.
