Prime security with Linux on IBM Z and IBM LinuxONELinux on IBM LinuxONE

The IBM Z® and LinuxONE systems are known as being highly securable platforms. But how does this affect running Linux® on IBM Z or LinuxONE?The IBM® LinuxONE systems are known as being highly securable platforms. But how does this affect running Linux on LinuxONE?

After all, Linux is Linux. This is a true statement: Linux on IBM Z and IBM LinuxONE Linux on LinuxONE uses the same privilege, authorization, and access control concepts as any other Linux. The same methods for setting up firewalls, enforcing auditing, secure network protocols, disk and file system encryption and so forth are part of any Linux distribution, independent of the platform they are running on. The hardware features of IBM Z and LinuxONE make all the difference.

  • How you can protect any data leaving the operating system, be it data in-flight or data at-rest.
  • How confidential computing implements secure KVM guests on IBM Z and LinuxONE and supports fully encrypted boot images that are controlled by the image owner.
  • And last but not least why IBM servers protect against tomorrow’s quantum computing threats today.
