Information Governance creates order out of information chaos
Information Governance is the exercise of decision rights to
optimize, secure and leverage data as an enterprise asset.
ƒ Orchestrate people, process and
technology toward a common goal
– Promotes collaboration
– Derive maximum value from
information
ƒ Leverage data as an enterprise
asset to drive opportunities
– Safeguards information
– Ensure highest quality
– Manage it throughout
lifecycle
Governing the creation, management and usage of
enterprise data is not an option any longer. It is:
Expected by your customers ‹ Demanded by the executives ‹ Enforced by regulators/auditors
8

SUMMARY
Information Governance allows organizations to create order of this information
chaos. It provides the means by which organizations can manage this explosion
of information. Its about enabling people to do their jobs more effectively by
providing them with the decision rights to optimize, secure and leverage
enterprise data as an asset that can drive business opportunities.
Information governance doesn’t have to be difficult or mysterious. At its most
basic, it involves organizing people, processes and technology to optimize,
protect and leverage information—both structured and unstructured—as an
enterprise asset that must be protected, meet quality standards and managed
throughout its lifecycle. Even if you feel removed from aspects of governance,
you can still learn the vocabulary and rules. It’s easy, effective and it can help
solve a lot of information-related problems that may have eluded resolution for
years.
The management of data through governance is no longer ‘optional’.
Organizations have to do this to be competitive. Your customers expect you to
know your data, the executives demand accuracy and expediency and the
regulators/auditors will enforce it. Data custodians are being pushed from all
sides to meet these demands.

But…System z is already secure….why do we need more?
ƒ Separation of duties
–Privileged users “need to know” vs abuse or
mistake
–Trace-based auditing controlled by privileged users
–SAF plays a vital role in protection of data on z/OS,
but is not tamper-resistant and actionable
ƒ Achieving audit readiness is labor-intensive and
introduces latency
–RACF lacks sufficient granularity for reporting
–DB2 Audit Trace significantly improved in V10, but
still requires externalization to SMF and customer

RACF and SAF exploitative security products provide
control for resource access, but cannot determine access
intent (Need to Know vs Privilege Abuse). Also RACF lacks
granularity when generating audit reports.
DB2 Audit Trace significantly improved in V10, but still
requires externalization to SMF and customer provided
reporting infrastructure.
SMF based reporting can result in latency from event
capture to subsequent reporting and actionable processing.
Trace based auditing tends to be complex and controlled by
privileged users (DBA or SYSPROGS – Separation of
Roles)
SAF plays a vital role in protection of data on z/OS, but
audit event collection/reporting which is tamper resistant,
real-time, and actionable is also needed.
Guardium on z/OS provides this information.

Lets take a quick look at how Guardium achieves these benefits:
An essential component to Privacy and Protection is how to maintain real-time insight into database access and activity, to protect enterprise data and comply
with regulatory requirements. Guardium enables IBM clients to maintain trusted information infrastructures by continuously monitoring access and activity to
protect high-value databases against threats from legitimate users and potential hackers. Additionally, Guardium also assesses the vulnerability of the
database infrastructure itself to ensure their continued highest level of security. And last, we also and reduce operational costs by automating regulatory
compliance tasks.
It does this using a single integrated appliance, which can be configured as a Collector, a Central Policy Manager, or Vulnerability Assessment Server with the
simple use of license keys. The key to monitoring non-intrusively is the STAP, which is a light-weight Software TAP (STAP) that taps all incoming traffic.
Basically, Guardium is a gateway to all data flows. No DB, app, or network changes are necessary. All this traffic that meets the auditing policy is sent to
the Collector, which runs policy against it and provides real-time alerting. The Central Policy Manager is the central point of control for all collectors.
You may notice that all major DB infrastructures and some major applications are supported. This is where Guardium provides extra value-add. By in-depth
understanding of all these protocol/schema differences.
The appliances can be redundantly configured to provide a high available solution. The STAP takes only a small performance footprint which is much less
than turning native auditing on, with the additional benefit of SOD, since the DBAdmin does not have control over the appliance and cannot affect its audit
collection.
Once setup, the Collector or Central Policy Manager can gather all the audit information in a normalized format (like an SIEM for DBs). The Vulnerability
Assessment tool will scan the DB2 on z/OS databases for needed patches or configuration hardening, based on periodically updated vulnerability templates.
All this information (configuration, vulnerability, audit) can easily be packaged and reported for the major regulations. We have pre-packaged modules for
each major regulation.
And to the part that may interest you the most, Guardium can readily integrate with several Security and Systems Management solutions, providing a
complementary in-depth view of the database security posture.

The benefits of shared collection
ƒ Utilizing Shared Collector technology, the Monitoring and Auditing products work
together.
– Common processes are used to minimize overhead.
– Coordinated use of algorithms, memory, and gathered information reduces the
impact on the statement being observed.
– This results in lower CPU consumption and better elapsed time.
– Shared Collector code is also more reliable and stability is improved

Planning that first implementation
ƒ Start with the basics
– Identify a non-production DB2 environment
– Determine how many DB2 systems to audit
– Identify the support people (systems programmer, security administrator, auditor)
– Obtain management approval
– Establish agreement on the implementation schedule
ƒ Establish the Guardium details
– Determine what type of collector will be used (VM or hardware)
– Identify what features are needed (redundant collectors, zIIP availability, integration
with distributed Guardium systems, etc.)
– Identify the TCP/IP addresses
– Coordinate the Guardium training and professional services
– Size the environment for a collector, aggregator and central manager
– Determine what groups to be used to simplify the Guardium implementation
ƒ Identify success criteria
– What needs to be audited (very important!)?
– What reports are required and desired?
– Is integration with another product, like a SIEM product, required?
– Is a performance test required?
– Are Vulnerability Assessments and Entitlement Reports required?
22

Although each implementation is unique, there are several best practices
principals that can be applied to a Guardium implementation. The goal is to
have solid communication with all involved parties and to develop a project plan
that is acceptable to all participants.
Start with the Basics – The basics are similar to project implementations.
Assigning the proper people with the proper skill sets is critical The
implementation may take several weeks so having team members that can
support the project from beginning to end is important.
Establish the Guardium details – Guardium is different from several other
products because there are two components. One is the STAP which is
installed on the mainframe and the other is the collector which is installed off the
mainframe. Guardium professional services has experience with many
implementations which will reduce the risk of the implementation.
Identify the success criteria – Having a solid success criteria provides the vision
for the project.

DB2 collection policy definition
ƒ Identifies what activity is to be sent to the Guardium collector for auditing
ƒ Uses groups to simplify administration
ƒ Key component in performance. For example:
– Granular control over connection type
– Connection type provides efficient filtering
25
© 2013 IBM Corporation
Defining a collection policy that filters based on connection type is a very
efficient way to reduce SQL traffic being sent to the Guardium collector. For
example. some organizations are not interested in auditing SQL traffic that
comes from CICS. Traffic from CICS has already been authenticated and is
often considered to be a trusted application. To exclude the CICS traffic,
specify “NOT CICS” as a Connection Type group member.
SQL is sent to DB2 from a variety of connection types. If specific connection
types are not required for auditing, it is very easy to exclude these types from
being audited. The connection type is one of the first filters applied to the input
SQL being audited. If specific connection types can be excluded the benefit
may be a significant reduction in MIPS processing, depending on quantity of
SQL that can be filtered.
Applying the proper filtering processes is key to improving Guardium STAP
performance.

Determining what needs to be audited - some customers just need privileged
users, some need to comply to regulatory regulations like PCI DSS where
access to sensitive data is the most important requirement.
27
Information Management – InfoSphere Guardium
Conducting that first implementation
ƒ Meet all functional requirements
– Develop detailed custom reports
– Modify the collection profile for efficiency, alerts,
exceptions, etc.
– Develop an archive strategy
– Implement report workflow
ƒ Conduct performance testing
– Build a repeatable performance test
– Run the test
– Review the results and make modifications until
results are satisfactory
ƒ Plan for ongoing maintenance
– Recommendation: Use same maintenance
philosophy that you use for DB2 (eg LPAR or group
level)
ƒ Plan for the next stages
– Obtain approvals to migrate software to production
– Schedule migration to next stage
– Coordinate migration plan

Determining what needs to be audited - provide guidance here based on
what you've seen from other customers. ie some customers just need
privileged users, some need to comply to regulatory regulations like PCI
DSS where access to sensitive data is the most important requirement. At
a major bank in Brazil PCI is their requirement. The PCI accelerator helps
to meet the requirements.

Rolling Guardium into production
ƒ Building the production Guardium solution
–Size Guardium for the number of STAPs, collectors, aggregators, etc.
–Size the number of collectors based on estimated audit data volume
and include failover contingency
• And plan for the unexpected!
–Integrate Guardium into your disaster recovery strategy
ƒ Post production deployment
–Monitor the collector usage closely for the first few weeks
–Validate reports are meeting business requirements
–Adjust collector sizing as appropriate
–Adjust collection policy as appropriate
–Deploy the archive strategy
30

Deploying Guardium into production is the last step of deployment. The risk is
significantly reduced if the system has been implemented in other nonproduction environments and thoroughly tested.
Sizing the Guardium is a key factor for a production deployment. Most
production mainframe DBMS systems are highly utilized. It is not uncommon for
there to be several million SQL statements processed pre day for a DBMS that
supports a critical business application.
Sizing of Guardium focuses on the allocation of the collectors. The collectors
are highly scalable. Each STAP that audits a DBMS needs to send its audit
data to a collector. Depending on the audit policy, there could be a very large
percentage of incoming DBMS traffic that is not needed to be audited. As a
result, there may be multiple DBMS STAPs that send the audit traffic to a single
collector.
We recommend that the number of collectors for an initial implementation be
conservative. The reason is there may be times when the amount of incoming
traffic is variable. For example, there may be end of period processing or
unusual events that significantly increase the activity to the DBMS. The
conservative collector allocation will provide the ability to capture all audit data
during spikes in processing. After a period of time the Guardium administrators
can determine if the number of collectors need to be adjusted.

One thing all auditors are going to want to see is a process that ensures
all incidents are investigated and remediated. InfoSphere Guardium is
unique in providing an integrated compliance workflow automation
application that automates the process of ensuring all incidents are
addressed; which reduces your operational costs while quickly providing
the audit trail required for compliance.
The compliance workflow tool gives you the flexibility to define unique
custom processes for their different organizations or efforts, for example
a different escalation or review steps for different parts of the organization
to ensure checks and balances. In this example, we are using this
workflow process to ensure review and approval of new database
connections. It needs to be routed from the businessd owner, through
information security and then to the Guardium Admin who can actually
move the new connections to the “approved connections” group.
The workflow process also provides enough granularity to handle
individual line items in a report, like rerouting a subset of issues for
escalation or outside review.
These capabilities enable the cost benefits of automation to be realized;
even in large, complex organizations where you have a variety of
different processes, and a variety of incidents with differing remediation
profiles this custom workflow can fit seamlessly into your organizational
processes.
