Security in OMEGAMON AI Insights

Edit online

As it is important to keep your data secured, proper network security and user access policies must be implemented to protect the data and maintain system integrity.

Enforcing appropriate security policies on the Elasticsearch server and on the Linux for Z server on which the machine code will be executed is therefore vital.

Access control and authentication on Elasticsearch

As the machine learning code executes on a Linux for Z instance after being dispatched from Elasticsearch, code access originates from the Elasticsearch server. User authentication for the machine learning code is overseen by the Elasticsearch server. The Elasticsearch server also contains attributes (key performance indicators) data as well as the results of the model.

Therefore, all necessary access controls to prevent unauthorized entry into OMEGAMON® AI Insights and Elasticsearch components must be established within the Elasticsearch server.

To access the Elasticsearch server, users are required to sign in. Strengthen security by implementing robust password policies.

Access control on Linux for Z

The execution of the machine learning code on a Linux instance is configured in a TOML file. Access to the TOML file is governed by access control measures implemented in the Linux for Z server, via a Pluggable Authentication Module (PAM).

Network security

Properly securing network connections is crucial to prevent unauthorized access and data breaches. Secure network protocols are used to safeguard all inter-component communication:

  • HiperSockets when OMEGAMON AI Insights and Elasticsearch are deployed on different Linux for Z instances.
  • Virtual Private Network (VPN) connection or TLS when the Elasticsearch server is deployed on a different Linux instance from OMEGAMON AI Insights.

Delivery and installation security

Besides securing the operation of OMEGAMON AI Insights, it is also essential to prevent unauthorized installation or tampering during delivery. A secure delivery and installation process is therefore vital in the overall security context.

The delivery of OMEGAMON AI Insights is secure because it uses ShopZ. ShopZ ensures the integrity of the delivered files and verifies the authenticity of the source.
