New Alerts based on DB2 SMF audit records

Although we are using zSecure Alert to trigger dataset or RACF events there is no capability to catch DB2 SMF audit records. It is a PCI-DSS requirement to trigger alerts on the DB2 insufficient access on sensitive tables or modification of a user...

MFA User Segment alerts

Use sysplex wide SMF logstream as input to zSecure Alert

As a user of sysplex technologie (e.g. VTAM generic ressources) in our environments, we see that the functionality of some alerts is limited, if zAlert only analyzes data of one single lpar. The biggest problem we see is in standard alert 1125 (Pa...
