FTP is a readily available, convenient, and inexpensive technology to transfer
files and data sets between z/OS and a virtually unlimited number of other
operating system platforms. This session will explore a wide range of aspects
related to how FTP works on z/OS with a focus on how you can secure both the FTP
environment itself and the individual data transfers that z/OS FTP participates
in both as a client and as a server. We will discuss the following topics in
this session. · Why is FTP so Vulnerable? · Know Which Problem You Need to Solve
· Options for Securing Data at Rest and in Transit · Steps to Making FTP
Compliant · Encryption for Data at Rest and/or In Transit Speaker Bio: Colin van
