# POWERCast: 5 Ways to Protect IBM i IFS from Cyberattacks

Anti-virus & Anti-Ransomware solutions are commonplace in desktop, network, and Internet/cloud environments. But what about IBM i servers?

While admins almost always deploy Anti-Virus & Anti-Ransomware software on non-IBM i systems, many organizations still don’t deploy Anti-Virus & Anti- Ransomware solutions on their IBM i servers. This is in spite of the fact that IBM i IFS files contain critical business assets that are attractive targets for cybercriminals.

View our on demand webinar to learn how virus & ransomware attacks affect IBM i servers and how to enhance IBM i cybersecurity & protect IFS assets against AV/AR threats.
