The 4-A's of Security
PARSEC Group can help you with the 4 A's of security. These are:
- Authentication - validating who the user is
- Authorization - granting system access to authenticated users
- Access - providing access to the use of select system resources
- Auditing - tracking security related events on the system
Authentication
PARSEC Group can work with you set up proper authentication on your OpenVMS systems. This includes:
- Verifying who the proper users are
- Having a secure and enforcable password policy
- Having accountability through individual accounts
- Configuring SSH authentication keys
- Enabling OpenVMS authentication in your Secure Web Server
PARSEC Group can implement a site-specific password policy for your OpenVMS systems. Depending on the version of OpenVMS, this may allow your VMS systems to have the same security policy enforced as that you have implemented on your UNIX, Linux and Microsoft Windows platforms.
Authorization
Authorization includes enabling proper privileges and quotas on each account, along with restricting system access to those times when the user should have access. PARSEC Group can help with the proper setting up of user accounts and restricting the use of those accounts as appropriate for each set of users.
Access
PARSEC Group can set up proper security on your files and databases so that authorized and authenticated users have access to only the data they need to get their job done. We can work with your system managers and programmers to insure that other resources; such as group and system global sections, common event flag clusters, queues, devices, logical names, and more are kept properly secure.
Auditing
PARSEC Group can assist you with your security auditing needs. This includes:
- Determining what information should be audited
- Configuring how long the security data will be available
- Generating security reports
- Automating these tasks
