One Search390.com user asked expert Mark Zelden who he thought should get mainframe security access. Mark shared his insights and now we'd like to get yours. Here's the question posed to Mark: "We are a new OS/390 shop that has insourced from an outsourcing data center. I am the security administrator for the mainframe. I work in the systems programming department, where we have DBAs. The DBAs believe that they should have the same security access as the mainframe systems programmers. I don't believe this should happen but I am having a hard time convincing the assistant vice president that they should not have the same access." Who do you think should have security access to the mainframe? >> CLICK to post a response: http://search390.discussions.techtarget.com/WebX?[EMAIL PROTECTED]@.ee83ff9/206 >> CLICK to read Mark Zelden's response: http://search390.techtarget.com/ateQuestionNResponse/0,289625,sid10_cid501501_tax287555,00.html =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= TAKE OUR POLL | Search390.com Is Linux still the wave of the future? >> CLICK to post your response: http://search390.techtarget.com/poll =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= THE MISSING LINK | Out of the Loop: The code name game Oh, those Microsoft code names!
