....Or if you'd like the simpler, concise, sanity-restoring conversation
starter to borrow:
"Every Apple iPhone connects to Apple to get security updates, with
authentication. Obviously timely security updates are essential to keep
thieves and fraudsters from stealing data. So why on earth are we blocking
our most sensitive, mission-critical z/OS systems from securely connecting
to IBM's authenticated 'App Store' so we can install its critical updates,
including security updates, as quickly as testing allows? Do you think our
status quo represents best security practices?"
Give that a try, and let us all know how it goes.
1. I see essential difference between mobile phone and mainframe server.
2. I know some horror stories related to the iphone updates - maybe you
don't believe, but sometimes things go wrong...
3. Some updates require restart, DYNACT, reIPL or other outage. While it
is not a problem for majority of iphones I would bet it is problem for
most mainframes.
4. Some of us would like to know what, when and why is installed.
5. Installation of security patches do not require direct Internet
connectivity.
6. Most (I guess so) mainframes have no direct connection to Internet,
but usually it is NOT decision of mainframe administrator. They usually
work for corporations and have to respect corporate rules, including
those "less-wise" ones. Sometimes it's simply easier to circumvent such
problem.
