IBM Security zSecure on developerWorks

In this new redbook, the best practices to manage IT security are already documented by several sources. The practices can certainly be used to also secure Linux on System z.  However, when you define the security policies, consider several unique technologies that this platform uses. These technologies can potentially harden the overall security by providing centralized management capabilities and reducing the number of control checks compared to a server farm that is based on physically distributed servers. This web document describes the best practices for securing your network. It was written as as part of IBM Redbooks publication Security for Linux on System z, SG24-7728.
