Raz-Lee Security has announced it has been included in the IBM Smart Business Program, the business program launched in Italy for Power i and based on a concept of an integrated solution, easy to find, install, manage and support. 

This certification is a significant official milestone in terms of Raz-Lee's cooperation with IBM in the Italian market, the company said. Raz-Lee's iSecurity packs are the only third-party compliance and data security solutions listed on the IBM Smart Business portal. With iSecurity, Raz-Lee can cover all customer business needs in the areas of security and data protection, providing help and support for the IT department for better management of system and applications, the company says. 

"By installing our iSecurity software solutions, IBM Power i customers instantaneously receive an important advantage over hardware platforms competing with IBM Power i--they immediately become compliant with the most important local and international security regulations," said Nicola Fusco, southern Europe area manager, Raz-Lee Security. "The IBM i Smart Business program's integration of software and services creates a solution that is much more convenient for the customer, without having to search for separate solutions, pay for them, and then spend hours on integrating them. Instead, the customer just plugs in and activates an already secured and configured Smart Cube in a quarter of the time normally required to get business applications up and running." 

Below are the iSecurity packs listed in IBM Smart Business Portal: 

Logs and User Control Package—the basic iSecurity package for system administrators, which provides data security and compliance with the Italian regulation concerning system administrators activities with reports generation, allowing the export of SYSLOG. 

System Administrator Package—the complete solution for meeting the requirements of system administrators regulation and company regulation for protecting corporate data, providing optimized centralized control of assets in cases of infrastructure "multi-system." 

Power i Resources Management Package—this package covers company security needs, including modules that control and manage the system (resources, accounting users, rehabilitation activities) which usually involves the direct activity of the technical staff. It also represents an always-available automatic operator, which, by setting rules and controls, provides for corrective actions and/or warning also by integrating messaging services (email, fax, sms). 

Power i Applications Package—contains modules that provide services to facilitate and accelerate activities related to user applications: delivery time, rollout and testing of new applications, user accounts, displaying changes in fields without changing the code of the applications, and monitoring data changes in certain fields with real-time notification of administrators.
