Re: Antivirus/ransomware software

Yes the IFS should be a concern.

HelpSystems (now Fortra, as of this past week) has a fantastic antivirus/anti-ransomware product for the IBM i.

In fact I work on that and the Powertech encryption product for the IBM i.
We have customers such as Disney, Sysco and Costco and many others using these products.

I am not endorsing this company but do like what I have heard. iTech put
on a virtual seminar this week called iAdmin Fall 2022. They had several
sessions that talked about this subject. It might be worth your time to
seek out the handouts/recordings. I found it very informative.

There are some times where it makes sense. Like file uploads, etc.
But I agree that the IFS is inherently slower. We only use one system as
a file system and it's to make people suffer for retaining that data. Yep,
you can store it in these folders served up on 10k spinning disks.

My opinion was that the 1990's idea of using wondrously expensive AS/400

DASD as a dumpster for MS Windows poo was the Bad Idea and it should cease
yesterday :)

I totally agree. :-) Not because of the expensiveness (anymore) but the
inherent slowness of the IFS, though. Or, said in other words: Use the
right tool for the job.

:wq! PoC
