Herzliya, Israel – March 25, 2010 – Raz-Lee Security will demonstrate its advanced Power i security solutions at Common 2010, Booth 610, on May 3-6 at the Hilton Orlando in Orlando, Florida.

COMMON is the annual meeting of the COMMON membership and the largest gathering of the Power Systems user community. COMMON 2010 will mark a significant milestone of 50 years – a true testament to the strength and vibrancy of this professional user community.

The Annual Meeting is COMMON’s largest educational event of the year, with four full days of in-depth IBM i and AIX education that includes all-day pre-conference workshops, all-day Integrated Seminars, open labs and a wide variety of regular-length sessions.

The conference’s Opening Session will demonstrate an unprecedented level of support and recognition of COMMON by IBM, with a special message from Sam Palmisano, IBM’s Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer, as well as a keynote address by Mark Shearer, VP, Marketing, Communications and Sales Support, IBM Systems and Technology Group.  

Raz-Lee Security will take the opportunity to display, among other products and capabilities:

• Native Object Security – enables system administrators to easily define target security levels per object and object type, and to check for inconsistencies between actual and planned object security settings. The product also enables using generic object names, and includes full reporting features.
• User Profile & System Value Replication - synchronizes user profile definitions, user passwords and system values between different systems and LPARs, allowing for exceptions as needed in Production, Test or Development systems. Synchronization is accomplished with minimum overhead to both the actual systems and the personnel mandated with managing user profile information. The product also replicates system value definitions between systems, using “optimal” system values defined in Compliance Evaluator and “baseline” site-defined values.
• Compliance Evaluator – enables managers a quick, comprehensive view of the compliance scores for all systems in the enterprise and provides detailed compliance-related reports with various levels of detail.

 ”The 50^th anniversary of COMMON and IBM’s ever-increasing participation at COMMON both attest to the solid position of the Power i in today’s enterprises,” said Shmuel Zailer, CEO, Raz-Lee Security. “As renowned Power i experts and enthusiastic supporters of iManifest (the international initiative promoting the Power i), we are delighted to witness this development and are confident that it will lift this unique platform to new heights.”

Raz-Lee Security, a leading supplier of information security solutions for the IBM Power i, has enhanced its iSecurity product suite with a new Native Object Security management module.

Defining security rights for native objects is the basis for all Power i security. However, these activities are work-intensive and therefore very susceptible to errors and oversights.

 iSecurity’s Native Object Security capabilities enable system administrators to easily define target security levels per object and object type, and to check for inconsistencies between actual and planned object security settings. They also enable using generic object names, and include full reporting features.

 Native Object Security capabilities include:

• Setting up multiple object security rules simultaneously, using generic naming capabilities
• Checking target (planned) settings with the current object security status, and showing inconsistencies
• Setting the current security status to the planned status
• Defining Object Owner, Authorization List, Primary Group, and specific user authorities (Add/Replace)
• Setting Audit value and Reset usage count
• Full reporting capabilities including OUTFILE

 ”We strive to maximize the user’s flexibility and variety of options,” said Eli Spitz, VP Business Development, Raz-Lee Security. “Accordingly, iSecurity supports both general and specific security settings, be it individual security levels for each and every object, or special temporary authorities for emergency cases. This allows the security settings to reflect the customer’s exact needs, with little or no constraints”.
