Mainframe is often perceived as the most secure platform in the world. However, the reality is, that it is as secure as you make it. A group of well known mainframe hackers shared their experience and lessons learned from the field. In particular, they publicly showed the most common attack vectors for the mainframe. In this presentation we will review their findings and see how these techniques could apply to Db2 for z/OS.
9.1.1 Objectives
• A brief overview of z/OS security
• A brief overview of Db2 for z/OS security
• Common mainframe hacking techniques and how they apply to Db2
5 implementation tips to drive the most value from Db2 12 for z/OS Function Levels
This intermediate level presentation quickly covers the history of compression in Db2 for z/OS, from V3.1 to Db2 12. We will review the original tablespace row compression, index compression, LOB compression, and Huffman compression, with a glance at some application performance considerations.
This presentation describes novel approaches to successfully deploy Data Mesh solutions with a focus on IBM zSystems, specifically Db2 for z/OS and other zSystems data. A Data Mesh – underpinned with a Data Fabric architecture – views data primarily as organized around domain owners who create business-focused data products, which can be aggregated and consumed across distributed consumers, organizations, and LoBs in a self-service and shopping-for-data fashion. Focusing on intelligent cataloguing with IBM Watson Knowledge Catalog and its new integration with Db2 Data Gate, we describe key AI-based Data Mesh concepts, such as automated metadata enrichment, data quality assessments, establishing a data marketplace, intelligent information integration, active metadata exploitation, and leveraging the digital exhaust.
An Open Data Lakehouse is a new architecture that integrates traditional data warehouse and data lake concepts to accommodate various big data use cases. This presentation describes the IBM Data Lakehouse approach with its key components: (a) the Presto SQL engine for data analytics and the open lakehouse, (b) the metadata and governance layer, and (c) ACID support to access a variety of object storages (Amazon S3, MS Azure DLS, IBM COS) via the Apache Iceberg table format. Emphasis is on the integration of Db2 for z/OS and other zSystems data (VSAM and IMS). The presentation includes a demo of the solution.
