First Morning Presentation
Belal
Tassi, IBM Corporation
If you're like most
administrators, worrying about data server security, regulatory compliance, and
data governance issues are not exactly how you would like to spend your time.
However, with the growing volume and importance of your data has come an ever
increasing number of data breaches, and important government and industry
regulations - such as
PCI-DSS - that affect your data
servers. So worrying is exactly what is happening.
But it does not need to be this
way. This session will address the increasingly vital topic of data governance
and discuss the important tools now available that can help you:
1) Securely lock down your DB2
data server
2) Comply with important
regulatory requirements such as the auditing, encryption, retention, and
privacy of your data
3) Effectively govern your
information throughout its complete life cycle - from test to production to
test to archive.
You can't afford to miss this
session - not if you want to worry less and relax more!

Web services, this tool can do it all.
