Seriously, thanks! That made my day, probably week too. >I could sign on to many of them if I was in an environment with the >resources and talents you listed. I am in a small shop where mainframe >support is Me and The Other Guy.... Yes, I fundamentally agree with you. Part of getting security right (and keeping it right) involves fitting within certain temporary and permanent constraints. "One size does not fit all." By the way, and if it's any reassurance, I'm highly confident you're not the smallest shop. As it happens I've been working on a situation that involves a new client that doesn't have a data center yet. And what I mean by "data center" in this case is simply "a halfway decent place where we can uncrate their shiny new mainframe server — their very first server of any type." We'll eventually figure it out together, and it's mostly fun. — — — — — Timothy Sipples Senior Architect Digital Assets, Industry Solutions, and Cybersecurity IBM zSystems/LinuxONE, Asia-Pacific [email protected] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
