AE6 - Auditing z/OS to Generally Accepted Security Practices - Version 1

Unlike professional accountants who can rely on the long- standing rubric of Generally Accepted Accounting Practices (GAAP) as a basis to measure their actions and client processes, there is no such a standard for z/OS Security professionals to follow. The z Exchange seeks to resolve this void and address the z/OS skills challenge head on by opening up to our community a conversation that we hope will culminate in a first ever statement of Generally Accepted Security Practices (GASP) for z/OS.

To begin the process, we will rely on the experience and insights of Julie Bergh. Well known within z/OS security circles, with well over 20 years of hands-on experience in applying z/OS security solutions, she has graciously stepped up to share her knowledge and take the first shot in this Version 1 of Generally Accepted Security Practices (GASP). This is her work and is presented to encourage your contribution to what we hope will be an ongoing professional and productive conversation.
