Top 10 IBM i Security Wishes for Christmas and the New Year

Carol provides the top 10 actions she wishes people would take to make their organizations more secure.

By Carol Woodbury

The holidays are upon us, and gifts are being given. I don’t know about you, but it’s definitely easier to know what to gift, especially to kids, when they’ve given me a Wish List. So for this article I’m pulling out my inner child and providing you with my list of actions I wish everyone would take when it comes to IBM i security. And lest you wonder whether these wishes are simply pulled from my dreams, they are not. These wishes are based on working with administrators and reviewing many organizations’ IBM i security settings.

The Power of Writing Code in a Low-Code Solution

When it comes to creating your business applications, there are hundreds of coding platforms and programming languages to choose from.

By LANSA, an Idera, Inc. Company

Editor's Note: This article is excerpted from the white paper, The Power of Writing Code in a Low-Code Solution available for download in the MC Press White Paper Center.

These options range from very complex, traditional programming languages to low-code platforms where sometimes no traditional coding experience is needed. Low-code platforms range from not using a programming language at all to using a very detailed programming language to supplement the low-code functionality.

A detailed guide for knowing the difference in the platforms and when to use which one can be found here. Traditional programming languages provide great power and flexibility but at the cost of complexity and time. Enterprises are looking for a faster way to get new applications to market, and that’s where low-code development platforms come in.
