able to easily monitor exit points, prevent unauthorized access, automate report generation to meet

Raz-Lee Security, a major vendor of security solutions for IBM Power i computers, has developed a comprehensive solution for Multi-System/Multi-LPAR environments, in response to the trends to “downsize” and consolidate servers.

As the number of special-purpose systems and LPARs at enterprises worldwide grows, it is critical that user profile definitions including passwords as well as system values are synchronized between the different Power i systems, allowing for exceptions as needed in Production, Test or Development environments. Naturally, synchronization must entail minimum overhead to both systems and the personnel mandated with managing user profile information.

Raz-Lee has identified this trend and consequently tailored a full security solution for multi-system/multi-LPAR environments. The solution, integrated in the iSecurity product suite, includes:

•  Replication – duplicates user profiles including passwords and other user profile definitions, as well as system values, from one system/LPAR to another, and synchronizes all parameters such as user authorities in all systems.
• Compliance Evaluator – compares compliance of different systems/LPARs
• Centralized Reporting – references and collects data from several systems/LPARs and creates reports in “merged” or individual format
• SYSLOG – the ability to interface with all leading SEM (Security Event Management) products is supported by iSecurity
• Central Administration – exports and imports product definitions & logs between different systems

“In order to uphold our status as a top-notch Power i security provider, we make it our business to identify relevant market trends and provide our customers with the exact solutions they are looking for,” said Eli Spitz, VP Business Development, Raz-Lee Security. “No other company has our abundance of features for Multi-System/Multi-LPAR environments, which is yet another unique feature for our iSecurity solution.”

Raz-Lee Security Inc., a leading vendor of security solutions for IBM System i computers, announced that the First International Bank of Israel (FIBI) selected Raz-Lee’s iSecurity solution to provide comprehensive security for the System i servers in the bank’s information systems.

The First International Bank deployed iSecurity in several computers at first, and after the system proved its capabilities, the project was expanded to additional computers. This extension was implemented following an assessment of the products and the market, based on the understanding that iSecurity provides the most comprehensive and immediate solution for the bank’s needs.

The iSecurity solution chosen by FIBI includes Firewall, which secures all types of external access to the bank’s computers, and Audit, which monitors user activity, access and actions which took place in the financial systems.

The bank’s IT personnel utilize the flexibility of the system to easily define, change and remove security rules, in accordance with the changing security needs of the bank and the increasing security threats.

“We are proud to serve a customer as prominent as FIBI,” said Eli Spitz, VP Business Development, Raz-Lee Security. “Banks and financial organizations, which handle particularly sensitive information, are precisely the clients for whom we developed iSecurity. Our system provides airtight protection for the customer’s System i servers and enables effective, convenient monitoring of all user permissions and activities.”

Herzliya, Israel – August 6, 2009 – Raz-Lee Security, a leading supplier of information security solutions for IBM System i, and IBM Italy, held a seminar at the IBM Forum in Segrate, Milan on July 23, 2009, in which Raz-Lee provided information on compliance with the new Italian Privacy Code 196/2003 relating to System Administrators’ role in corporate data security.

 The seminar included technical and marketing presentations and demos by:

• Nicola Fusco – South Europe Area Manager, Raz-Lee Security
• Adriano Berneri – Independent expert in security regulations
• Elvio Cappelli – Technical Support Manager, Raz-Lee Security
• Massimo Maggioni, IBM Manager

 The event was well-attended by end-users in Italian enterprises and System i technology resellers. This event follows another Raz-Lee venture which included 30 free Round Table meetings covering the requirements of the new legislation and how best to implement it on System i. The round table meetings were conducted across Italy.

The new Italian privacy legislation specifies procedures for data protection, including technical and administrative measures which companies are required to implement. It holds IT departments directly responsible for user access and actions relating to companies’ information systems. The legislation is expected to come into effect on  December 15^th 2009.

“Raz-Lee’s close partnership with IBM enabled us to jointly provide this valuable session to Italian enterprises,” said Nicola Fusco, South Europe Area Manager, Raz-Lee Security. “We are committed to providing ongoing support to Italian companies as they undertake the complex challenge of becoming compliant with the new legislation.”
