Tags: Proceedings, SHARE Phoenix 2019, 2019

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
