The human side of IBM i security

Many IBM i security conversations focus on tools, configurations, and controls.

All necessary—but only part of the solution.

Through years of IBM i security assessments, one pattern continues to emerge: technical findings tell an important story, but they are only part of the picture. The other part is human.

Retiring administrators. Undocumented custom code. Well-designed security tools that rely on consistent ownership and continuity. Access decisions made years ago that no one revisits.

This is why Kisco leads with an "education first" mindset, with things like this blog, conference presentations and webinars. Its also why our remediation engagements are collaborative, so client technical teams can learn while we work together to implement security controls and policies.

And its also why we've partnered with Talsco—an IBM i talent and succession-planning firm—to explore the human side of IBM i security, helping clients find "security-first" IBM i talent.
