IBM security solutions IBM security solutions keep electronic business transactions safe. They include the following: Integrated security chip that gives you the functionality of a SMART card without the added cost Enhanced Security support User Verification Manager software that helps manage authentication so that you decide who has access to the components of your system Data protection You can lose data from the hard disk for a variety of reasons. Security violations, viruses, or hard disk drive failure can all contribute to the destruction of data files. To protect against the loss of valuable information, IBM has incorporated many data-saving features within your computer. SMART hard disk drive Your computer comes with a SMART (Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology) hard disk drive that is enabled to report potential hard disk failures. If an error is detected, a DMI-compliant warning message is sent to the computer screen and, if the computer is part of a network, to an administrator console. When an error is detected, the data on the hard disk can be backed up and the drive replaced. SMART Reaction To help back up important data, IBM provides SMART Reaction software on computers with preinstalled software and also on the IBM Software Selections CD. SMART Reaction is a client/server software application that helps users and administrators respond effectively to a warning issued by the SMART hard disk drive. Virus protection Your computer has built-in virus protection that can be enabled through the Configuration/Setup Utility program. Also, Norton AntiVirus for IBM is installed on the hard disk of computers that have preinstalled software. Norton AntiVirus for IBM is also on the IBM Software Selections CD. Chapter 3.
