IBM i exit points are a critical, misunderstood security function that enable custom-written access & control programs to launch while users are accessing IBM i system features, such as FTP, ODBC, SQL, executing remote commands, 5250 sign-on and accessing the IFS.  

In this webinar, we discuss how exit points enhance and automate IBM i security by:  

• Discussing what IBM i exit points are, how they work and why they're critical to IBM i security and audit reporting
• Controlling user access permissions (read, write, delete, rename, run) and protecting native IBM i objects and the IFS
• Securing open communication ports, locking down TCP/IP application functions and preventing unauthorized command usage
• The Exit Point GPS: Finding the exit point you need and creating exit point programs
• Exit point activation: Do-it-yourself exit point activation versus using third-party solutions 

This webinar provides you with the background & key strategies needed for using exit points to protect your own IBM i system.
