Security White Paper Issues Resolved by XEC Datavault

The need for a product such as XEC® has been well documented throughout
many banking organizations. Note these Security White Paper quotes.

THE ISSUES

• Not able to utilize Hogan delivered exit points

• Wanted ALL users to have inquiry access with updates restricted

• Users were limited to a few gross function security groups

• Unique application program code required for FPS vs. Non-FPS security

• Users had too many sign-ons for various function security

• Hogan application program code had to be changed for security checks

• Multiple views of the same map were required for access levels

• Security information was being maintained outside the enterprise data security system

• Possible security solutions would degrade performance

• Transaction level security inadequate for multiple maps

XEC has resolved each of these issues.

THE QUOTES and RECOMMENDATIONS

"The method's used to protect fields to date are an
-expedient solution at best,and will be difficult to maintain
-as the number of fields needing protection increases."

"What we need is a method to use Dynamic Attribute Modification
-and change the map attribute bytes prior to display depending
-on the access authority of the user."

"The ability to provide Field Level Security will become
-more important as bank acquisitions increase."

"It is also felt that the mechanisms to provide this level
-of security should reside within the Umbrella system."

"Also, some method must be defined to offer Field Level Security
-for non-3270 messages which are transmitted to the
-host system through ODS or PASS."

XEC satisfies each of these recommendations.
