Some of the world’s most critical data lies in DB2 for z/OS databases. DB2 is known for its reliability, performance, and security. Many organizations rely on IBM Security Guardium to help with compliance and data protection requirements for DB2 for z/OS. Use cases include privileged user monitoring and compliance reporting.
Guardium uses a server-side data collection engine, called an S-TAP, to capture and send data activity events to the Guardium collector appliance. The collector is where the heavy lifting of analysis, alerting and reporting takes place. To optimize data collection on the DB2 subsystem, administrators can use flexible filtering capabilities. This reduces both processor and network overhead by reducing the amount of unnecessary data that must be sent to the collector appliance.
In this session, Chris Born, lead developer for the DB2 for z/OS S-TAP, goes in-depth on the S-TAP architecture and how to optimize for performance while achieving your auditing goals. Topics include:
- S-TAP architecture for z/OS
- Filtering capabilities
- Best practices
