““Inconsistent dataInconsistent data””
Healthcare Insurer: “My team is responsible for sending data externally to many of our business partners and other entities. The number of these requests has grown significantly over the years and they are becoming increasingly involved and complicated. We need a policy and process to handle these requests to ensure we comply with all privacy/security regulations. We also need appropriate executive-level review and approval to ensure that each request for sharing our data externally is the right thing for us to do from a business perspective.”
““We need a policy and process to ensure we are protecting our datWe need a policy and process to ensure we are protecting our dataa””
United States Government Agency: “Our team is responsible for the trustworthiness of data to the field analysts but we have no control over the quality of data that flows into our Financials from SAP R/3 to BW.”
““We have no control over the quality of dataWe have no control over the quality of data””
North American Multi-Line Insurer: “Our new CEO became the most ardent supporter of Data Governance when he discovered that reports from different parts of the organization had inconsistent data.”

Information Governance creates order out of information chaos
Orchestrate people, process and technology toward a common goal
– Promotes collaboration – Derive maximum value from
information
Information Governance is the exercise of decision rights to Information Governance is the exercise of decision rights to optimize, secure and leverage data as an enterprise asset.optimize, secure and leverage data as an enterprise asset.
Governing the creation, management and usage of Governing the creation, management and usage of enterprise data is not an option any longer. It is:enterprise data is not an option any longer. It is:
Expected by your customers Demanded by the executives Enforced by regulators/auditors
Leverage data as an enterprise asset to drive opportunities
– Safeguards information – Ensure highest quality– Manage it throughout
lifecycle
SUMMARY
Information Governance allows organizations to create order of this information chaos. It provides the means by which organizations can manage this explosion of information. Its about enabling people to do their jobs more effectively by providing them with the decision rights to optimize, secure and leverage enterprise data as an asset that can drive business opportunities.
Information governance doesn’t have to be difficult or mysterious. At its most basic, it involves organizing people, processes and technology to optimize, protect and leverage information—both structured and unstructured—as an enterprise asset that must be protected, meet quality standards and managed throughout its lifecycle. Even if you feel removed from aspects of governance, you can still learn the vocabulary and rules. It’s easy, effective and it can help solve a lot of information-related problems that may have eluded resolution for years.
The management of data through governance is no longer ‘optional’. Organizations have to do this to be competitive. Your customers expect you to know your data, the executives demand accuracy and expediency and the regulators/auditors will enforce it. Data custodians are being pushed from all sides to meet these demands.

But…System z is already secure….why do we need more?
Separation of duties –Privileged users “need to know” vs abuse or
mistake–Trace-based auditing controlled by privileged users–SAF plays a vital role in protection of data on z/OS,
but is not tamper-resistant and actionable
Achieving audit readiness is labor-intensive and introduces latency
–RACF lacks sufficient granularity for reporting–DB2 Audit Trace significantly improved in V10, but
still requires externalization to SMF and customer provided reporting infrastructure
Real time event collection – Batch processing of audit data from external
sources prevents real time alerts
RACF and SAF exploitative security products provide control for resource access, but cannot determine access intent (Need to Know vs Privilege Abuse). Also RACF lacks granularity when generating audit reports. DB2 Audit Trace significantly improved in V10, but still requires externalization to SMF and customer provided reporting infrastructure. SMF based reporting can result in latency from event capture to subsequent reporting and actionable processing. Trace based auditing tends to be complex and controlled by privileged users (DBA or SYSPROGS – Separation of Roles)SAF plays a vital role in protection of data on z/OS, but audit event collection/reporting which is tamper resistant, real-time, and actionable is also needed. Guardium on z/OS provides this information.

Lets take a quick look at how Guardium achieves these benefits:
An essential component to Privacy and Protection is how to maintain real-time insight into database access and activity, to protect enterprise data and comply with regulatory requirements. Guardium enables IBM clients to maintain trusted information infrastructures by continuously monitoring access and activity to protect high-value databases against threats from legitimate users and potential hackers. Additionally, Guardium also assesses the vulnerability of the database infrastructure itself to ensure their continued highest level of security. And last, we also and reduce operational costs by automating regulatory compliance tasks.
It does this using a single integrated appliance, which can be configured as a Collector, a Central Policy Manager, or Vulnerability Assessment Server with the simple use of license keys. The key to monitoring non-intrusively is the STAP, which is a light-weight Software TAP (STAP) that taps all incoming traffic. Basically, Guardium is a gateway to all data flows. No DB, app, or network changes are necessary. All this traffic that meets the auditing policy is sent to the Collector, which runs policy against it and provides real-time alerting. The Central Policy Manager is the central point of control for all collectors.
You may notice that all major DB infrastructures and some major applications are supported. This is where Guardium provides extra value-add. By in-depth understanding of all these protocol/schema differences.
The appliances can be redundantly configured to provide a high available solution. The STAP takes only a small performance footprint which is much less than turning native auditing on, with the additional benefit of SOD, since the DBAdmin does not have control over the appliance and cannot affect its audit collection.
Once setup, the Collector or Central Policy Manager can gather all the audit information in a normalized format (like an SIEM for DBs). The Vulnerability Assessment tool will scan the DB2 on z/OS databases for needed patches or configuration hardening, based on periodically updated vulnerability templates. All this information (configuration, vulnerability, audit) can easily be packaged and reported for the major regulations. We have pre-packaged modules for each major regulation.
And to the part that may interest you the most, Guardium can readily integrate with several Security and Systems Management solutions, providing a complementary in-depth view of the database security posture.

Information Management – InfoSphere Guardium
Planning that first implementation
Start with the basics– Identify a non-production DB2 environment– Determine how many DB2 systems to audit– Identify the support people (systems programmer, security administrator, auditor)– Obtain management approval– Establish agreement on the implementation schedule
Establish the Guardium details– Determine what type of collector will be used (VM or hardware)– Identify what features are needed (redundant collectors, zIIP availability, integration
with distributed Guardium systems, etc.)– Identify the TCP/IP addresses– Coordinate the Guardium training and professional services– Size the environment for a collector, aggregator and central manager– Determine what groups to be used to simplify the Guardium implementation
Identify success criteria– What needs to be audited (very important!)?– What reports are required and desired?– Is integration with another product, like a SIEM product, required?– Is a performance test required?– Are Vulnerability Assessments and Entitlement Reports required?
Although each implementation is unique, there are several best practices principals that can be applied to a Guardium implementation. The goal is to have solid communication with all involved parties and to develop a project plan that is acceptable to all participants.
Start with the Basics – The basics are similar to project implementations. Assigning the proper people with the proper skill sets is critical The implementation may take several weeks so having team members that can support the project from beginning to end is important.
Establish the Guardium details – Guardium is different from several other products because there are two components. One is the STAP which is installed on the mainframe and the other is the collector which is installed off the mainframe. Guardium professional services has experience with many implementations which will reduce the risk of the implementation.
Identify the success criteria – Having a solid success criteria provides the vision for the project.

DB2 collection policy definition
Identifies what activity is to be sent to the Guardium collector for auditing
Uses groups to simplify administration
Key component in performance. For example:– Granular control over connection type– Connection type provides efficient filtering
Defining a collection policy that filters based on connection type is a very efficient way to reduce SQL traffic being sent to the Guardium collector. For example. some organizations are not interested in auditing SQL traffic that comes from CICS. Traffic from CICS has already been authenticated and is often considered to be a trusted application. To exclude the CICS traffic, specify “NOT CICS” as a Connection Type group member.
SQL is sent to DB2 from a variety of connection types. If specific connection types are not required for auditing, it is very easy to exclude these types from being audited. The connection type is one of the first filters applied to the input SQL being audited. If specific connection types can be excluded the benefit may be a significant reduction in MIPS processing, depending on quantity of SQL that can be filtered.
Applying the proper filtering processes is key to improving Guardium STAP performance.

Conducting that first implementationInstall the Guardium collector / aggregator / central manager
–Install the software and maintenance–Configure the installation–Power up the collector
Install the Guardium STAP–Install the STAP and maintenance on all DB2
systems to be audited–Configure the installation and start STAP
Validate auditing–Create a simple audit collection policy–Use reports to validate that DB2 activity is being
stored in the repository
Refine the auditing –Filter unneeded audit data using policy–Create custom reports, Vulnerability
Assessment, integration, etc.
Determining what needs to be audited - some customers just need privileged users, some need to comply to regulatory regulations like PCI DSS where access to sensitive data is the most important requirement.

Information Management – InfoSphere Guardium
Conducting that first implementationMeet all functional requirements
– Develop detailed custom reports– Modify the collection profile for efficiency, alerts,
exceptions, etc.– Develop an archive strategy– Implement report workflow
Conduct performance testing– Build a repeatable performance test– Run the test– Review the results and make modifications until
results are satisfactory
Plan for ongoing maintenance– Recommendation: Use same maintenance
philosophy that you use for DB2 (eg LPAR or group level)
Plan for the next stages– Obtain approvals to migrate software to production– Schedule migration to next stage– Coordinate migration plan
Determining what needs to be audited - provide guidance here based on what you've seen from other customers. ie some customers just need privileged users, some need to comply to regulatory regulations like PCI DSS where access to sensitive data is the most important requirement. At a major bank in Brazil PCI is their requirement. The PCI accelerator helps to meet the requirements.

Rolling Guardium into production
Building the production Guardium solution–Size Guardium for the number of STAPs, collectors, aggregators, etc.–Size the number of collectors based on estimated audit data volume
and include failover contingency • And plan for the unexpected!
–Integrate Guardium into your disaster recovery strategy
Post production deployment–Monitor the collector usage closely for the first few weeks –Validate reports are meeting business requirements–Adjust collector sizing as appropriate–Adjust collection policy as appropriate–Deploy the archive strategy
Deploying Guardium into production is the last step of deployment. The risk is significantly reduced if the system has been implemented in other non-production environments and thoroughly tested.
Sizing the Guardium is a key factor for a production deployment. Most production mainframe DBMS systems are highly utilized. It is not uncommon for there to be several million SQL statements processed pre day for a DBMS that supports a critical business application.
Sizing of Guardium focuses on the allocation of the collectors. The collectors are highly scalable. Each STAP that audits a DBMS needs to send its audit data to a collector. Depending on the audit policy, there could be a very large percentage of incoming DBMS traffic that is not needed to be audited. As a result, there may be multiple DBMS STAPs that send the audit traffic to a single collector.
We recommend that the number of collectors for an initial implementation be conservative. The reason is there may be times when the amount of incoming traffic is variable. For example, there may be end of period processing or unusual events that significantly increase the activity to the DBMS. The conservative collector allocation will provide the ability to capture all audit data during spikes in processing. After a period of time the Guardium administrators can determine if the number of collectors need to be adjusted.

(Admin Role)
Reviewer can add comments, which are saved in audit
trail.
One thing all auditors are going to want to see is a process that ensures all incidents are investigated and remediated. InfoSphere Guardium is unique in providing an integrated compliance workflow automationapplication that automates the process of ensuring all incidents are addressed; which reduces your operational costs while quickly providing the audit trail required for compliance.
The compliance workflow tool gives you the flexibility to define unique custom processes for their different organizations or efforts, for example a different escalation or review steps for different parts of the organization to ensure checks and balances. In this example, we are using this workflow process to ensure review and approval of new database connections. It needs to be routed from the businessd owner, through information security and then to the Guardium Admin who can actually move the new connections to the “approved connections” group.
The workflow process also provides enough granularity to handle individual line items in a report, like rerouting a subset of issues for escalation or outside review.
These capabilities enable the cost benefits of automation to be realized; even in large, complex organizations where you have a variety ofdifferent processes, and a variety of incidents with differing remediation profiles this custom workflow can fit seamlessly into your organizational processes.
