PowerTech has announced the release of Command Security, a rule-based security solution that lets users audit and control selected commands. Command Security is a new member of the PowerTech line of security products. 

Command Security lets users identify the commands they want to monitor, specify the conditions under which the command should be secured, and define the actions to take when the conditions are met. These actions can range from allowing the command to execute, to modifying the command in a predefined way, to notifying an administrator, to preventing execution of the command. 

With Command Security, users can prevent unauthorized users from executing a monitored command, allow authorized users to execute certain commands, control the situations when a command is allowed, and monitor and secure commands used by other applications. 

Command Security records monitored command use in a secure journal and provides a complete audit trail to meet government legislation and industry regulations. 

“Not all commands have the potential for misuse,” said Robin Tatam, PowerTech director of Security Technologies. “Command Security gives users the flexibility to control just the commands and situations that could compromise system data or security. Plus, it works with almost any IBM i command and can control commands in third-party applications. It’s a great addition to the PowerTech security suite.”
