IBM Mainframes

What you'll learn

Identify which data can be encrypted in a z/OS environment

Describe methods used to encrypt disk, tape, and coupling facility data

Explain how in-flight data is encrypted

Identify which data within your organization should be encrypted

Requirements

Successful completion of Interskill's Cryptography course, or equivalent knowledge.

Description

This course introduces and discusses the types of z/OS data you should consider encrypting and the levels of encryption available. It begins by looking at full disk encryption, then moving to methods used for encrypting individual disk data sets. Information on encrypting other at-rest data residing on tape and the coupling facility is presented, as well as how unique data such as JES2 spool data sets, and database data can be secured. A look at in-flight data and how that is encrypted is also discussed. This course is suitable for system programmers and security specialists that need to identify how organizational data on z/OS is secured using pervasive encryption techniques. This is just one of the courses that is part of the Cryptography curriculum at Interskill Learning. The entire curriculum can be accessed at Interskill Learning's website plus 300+ other courses related to IBM Mainframes.
