Q5: Are your IBM i security settings in line with IBM’s recommended best practice?

You're Protected

If you answered Yes

We have suggested you ask your system administrator whether system value QALWOBJRST is set to *NONE. What is this? It’s a system value – a system-wide configuration setting that determines whether powerful software (has the capability to circumvent security) can be restored onto your system.

This is just one system value of many that affect security and often they are not configured well enough to protect your system.

IBM provides recommendations for these settings which we encourage you to follow.
