Protecting the Crown Jewels: Securing Your IBM i from Modern Cyberattacks

3/17/26

Many organizations run their most critical applications and data on the IBM i. It’s stable, powerful, and trusted — which is exactly why it matters.

Today’s attackers aren’t just targeting Windows systems. They’re looking for valuable data and core business systems, and for many companies, that means the IBM i. The real question isn’t whether the platform is strong — it’s whether your visibility, monitoring, and processes are strong enough to detect and stop a real-world attack.

In this session, Alex Humphrey, Director of Security at Solutions II, walks through how modern cyberattacks actually unfold: how someone gets in, what they do once they’re there, and how small issues can quietly turn into serious business impact. Using real-world examples and plain language, Alex breaks down what attackers are really looking for, how IBM i environments fit into that picture, and the common warning signs that are often missed.
