Users dish on System i compliance



Posted by: Mark Fontecchio
System i software

SkyView Partners has announced a new release of its Policy Minder software for IBM i and i5/OS. It includes a new graphical user interface (GUI) to help users in doing security policy compliance.

“The power of Policy Minder has really been harnessed by the enhanced interface as it provides a new level of point-and-click usability, even for a green screen power user like me,” said Robin Tatum of MIS.

Suhas Narayan of International Rectifier also tested the software ahead of its ship date, which is scheduled for Monday. He called it “security with simplicity,” adding that “the GUI interface provides an easy way to manage single or multiple systems.”

If anyone would like to see a short (10min) video of the GUI being demonstrated by Carol Woodbury, click to http://www.tatam.us/PolicyMinder/gui.wmv or contact SkyView directly at http://www.skyviewpartners.com

We predict such an impact with Policy Minder 1.4, that we have partnered with SkyView to create a new SkyView offering called SecureView. This entails a security consultant performing a deep security review of a client’s AS/400 server, including best-practice recommendations, followed by the implementation of Policy Minder.

Also, there was a slight typo in the press release as I am Robin Tatam, from MSI Systems Integrators.

If anyone has comments or questions on my beta impressions, feel free to ask!
