IBM TechU IBM Z Encryption – tu00008gwpl

Course #: tu00008gwpl

Duration: 6.4 Hours

This learning theme covers a variety of topics about encryption on IBM Z Systems. You’ll get an introduction to the encryption pyramid and guidance to consider when choosing the elements of your system to encrypt and your overall encryption strategy. You’ll go deep on IBM Z15 cryptography capabilities. From there you can dive into encryption on z/OS including cryptographic key management fundamentals and protecting your data at rest with encryption. Finally you’ll go deep on IBM Security Key Lifecycle Manager (SKLM), how it works and how to use it as well as a demo.

Upon completion of the final assessment, you’ll receive the IBM Z Encryption Badge.

Course level: Intermediate

Time to complete: 6 hours
