Powertech Exit Point Manager for IBM i

Detect and Prevent IBM i Intrusions

In the age of HIPAA, SOX, PCI, DORA, and GDPR, every company needs a security policy that controls data access for users. Within modern networked environments, there are hundreds of ways to access your IBM i® data, making a security breach more likely than ever before. To prevent intrusions, organizations need to be able to closely monitor and control who is accessing their systems and through what means. 

Reduce the Risk of Security Breaches

Protect your organization from the high cost and negative publicity of security breaches by tracking, monitoring, and controlling access to your data. Be sure you know who accessed what, when it happened, and how they got there. Powertech Exit Point Manager also secures your IBM i by enabling you to deploy and manage exit programs that offer tight control over who can upload or download data.

Ensure Secure Data Access Without Interrupting Operations 

Access control is vitally important in protecting an organization, yet authorized data access is essential for day-to-day operations. Exit Point Manager makes changing access rules simple. Administrators can limit access to the users or groups with a demonstrated need. Specific objects and libraries can be restricted, and rules can be assigned by IP address.

Powertech Exit Point Manager also lets administrators view all user-specific rules associated with the same user, in addition to object rule configuration options. This added visibility enables administrators to quickly identify potential overlaps or gaps between object and user rules.

User-Friendly, Browser-Based Interface

In addition to the familiar green screen, Exit Point Manager integrates with a web interface where you can monitor and manage key metrics from any desktop or mobile device, including smartphones and tablets. With the web interface, you can manage Exit Point Manager’s access control rules for all your systems in the same view. Powerful searching, sorting, and filtering options make it easy to identify rules for specific servers, users, and locations.

Dashboards provide up-to-the-minute views of transaction counts and hourly stats on your systems without running reports. Sharing your dashboards with other users is simple. For users who don’t require access to other Exit Point Manager features, guest logins can be granted to allow access to specific dashboards.
