Are you preparing your IBM i systems from malware and attacks to protect your critical data?
What happens if your business systems are under attack? Your IBM i is taken off the network, and red-zoned along with your other servers. If files on it were encrypted by ransomware, you have to restore them, possibly even the operating system. As a minimum, you have to scan your IFS for malware until you know that it’s clean.
In today’s digital landscape, data breaches are a constant threat, and IBM i systems are not immune to cyber attacks. It’s crucial to identify vulnerabilities before attackers exploit them.
Why IBM i Security Matters
IBM i security projects often take a backseat to new hardware and OS upgrades, yet the relentless nature of threats puts organisations at risk. Waiting to address security issues can lead to severe consequences.
Attacks come with a plethora of direct and indirect costs to your business.
- Direct revenue drop from business disruption
- Cost of immediate incident response
- Cost of forensic and expert consultants for incident investigation
- Cost of restoring normal business processes—if possible
- Cost of ransom payments. 92% of businesses that pay the ransom do not get their data back
- Business reputational damage
- Cost of dealing with inquiries about personal data leaked!
- Costs of legal representation and damages
- Fines (GDPR, etc.)
- Rise in insurance premiums
- Risk of losing industry compliance
