Robot/SECURITY Handles *ALLOBJ Security Issues

Robot/SECURITY, from Help/Systems, can help you handle all of these issues. Robot/SECURITY is actually five security products in one package: Exit Point Monitoring, QAUDJRN Monitoring, Security Auditing, Forensics, and Profile Exchange. With Profile Exchange, a user can "swap" to a different profile, on demand, at any time. The Robot/SECURITY Administrator defines all Profile Exchange users and their access schedules (see Figure 1).

The Robot/SECURITY Administrator Can Review All Requests

At your option, the Robot/SECURITY Administrator can preview profile exchange requests and approve or deny them using email, an i5/OS message, or Robot/SECURITY (see Figure 2).

Robot/SECURITY Logs All Profile Exchange Activity

Robot/SECURITY provides a comprehensive log of all the profile exchange activity, including the requestor and any activity associated with the request. At the end of a profile exchange session, Robot/SECURITY automatically emails the user's activity log to the Robot/SECURITY Administrator. Anyone who needs to can then view the detail online or in a printed report and can use the Exchange Audit History List panel to drill into QAUDJRN records to review the events of the exchange activity (see Figure 3).
