OS 2200 Security

IDS-2200

Intrusion Detection for OS 2200

Real-time, on-line security monitoring and reporting within the OS 2200 operating environment. Because peace of mind shouldn't be an afterthought.

Seamless Enterprise Architecture

IDS-2200 was created to fulfill a need for real-time monitoring and reporting, providing tools for security analysts and administrators to track attempts to access data and system resources.

IDS Agent

Runs quietly in the background on OS 2200 host systems, monitoring system logs and other sources for security-related events.

IDS Server

A Windows-based platform that receives and analyzes data as events occur, storing them in a central IDS Database.

Client Programs

Authorized administrators log into familiar GUI applications to access reports, configure the product, and view security data.

Understanding the Data Flow

Intrusion Detection fulfills what is often a critical missing component in a site’s overall security tool set. See how IDS-2200 brings everything together.

IDS in One Simple View

The premise of IDS-2200 is to monitor security-related events on your 2200 system via key log data. An IDS Agent installed on your 2200 partition gathers data from several security-related log files. It passes this data to an IDS Server which stores the data in a database. Administrators and authorized users log into IDS Client programs to configure the product and to use it in operational settings.

Data Gathering Logs

Security Related Logs

Gathering all the data you need to help monitor users’ access to your OS 2200 resources. Most importantly, the IDS Security Agent gathers data from the EXEC system logs. It pulls records of when users sign on to the system, when they assign a file or tape, and more.

OS 2200 has numerous components. IDS also gathers log data from several kinds of communications logs, WEBTS logs, and other minor log types to give you a complete picture.

Technical & Executive Overview
