....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. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Timothy Sipples IT Architect Executive, Industry Solutions, IBM z Systems, AP/GCG/MEA E-Mail: sipp...@sg.ibm.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
