Glossary Term

IBM i Security Software

Tools and services that improve access control, MFA, auditing, exit point monitoring, SIEM visibility, and remediation for IBM i environments.

Definition

IBM i security software covers the tools that help protect AS/400 and IBM i environments beyond basic passwords and native settings. Common areas include multi-factor authentication, privileged access control, authority management, audit reporting, exit point controls, firewall rules, SYSLOG forwarding, and SIEM integration.

Buyers should begin with a security assessment so the first tool targets the highest-risk gap rather than the loudest product category.

Example

An audit finding around powerful profiles may lead a buyer to evaluate IBM i security software for authority cleanup, privileged access workflow, and audit reporting.
