Quadbridge expertise improves IBM i security posture

When Brydens Trinidad & Tobago needed guidance on securing their multiple IBM i environments, they trusted the experts at Quadbridge. Working in partnership, Quadbridge defined and drove their path to IBM i security.

Client profile

  • Employees: 250-500
  • Industry: Wholesale

Solutions:

  • IBM i Security Assessment
  • Security Remediation
  • Enforcive Security
  • Professional Services

The challenge

  • The client was working to improve their security practices across the organization
  • The client operated a large environment involving 6 IBM i environments
  • The client had the skill on their team to maintain their IBM environments but did not have deep expertise in IBM i security and best practices

Our solution

  • To understand the current state of their security, Quadbridge proposed and was contracted to complete our IBM i risk assessment
  • Following our unique IBM specific methodology, we reviewed the clients 6 environments. We produced a comprehensive report for each environment and presented our findings and recommendations
  • Brydens agreed with our advice and approach. They decided to further contract Quadbridge for the following two services:
  • Enforcive and Related Services: the client subscribed to the Enforcive security software solution along with our implementation and ongoing support and log review services
  • Remediation Services: Quadbridge’s IBM security experts are completing a phase 1 remediation project to address a range of high priority vulnerabilities through configurations, updates, clean-up, and other foundational work. We have planned for and anticipate a phase 2 remediation project as well
  • As a result of our partnership, Brydens has gained a better understanding of their IBM security, has closed a number critical vulnerabilities, and has more control over their environment
