iSecurity Safe Update by Software Engineering of America allows File Editor security to control who may update data files. Safe Update controls access to file editors like DFU and Start SQL, even with elevated security accounts. It features automated workflows requiring approval for file updates. Users can be restricted to specific file editors for data updates. Safe Update also provides enhanced audit trails, logging who updated the data, who authorized it, and the reason for the update. Safe Update protects data by preventing access to IBM i tools which are typically prohibited from data update, such as DFU, Start SQL, and other known restricted tools. Safe Update's new security layer ensures that only authorized programs update business critical data. It provides workflows for file editor access, specifying who can work with the data, the reason for the work, and the limited time for the work order's validity. Safe Update monitors and protects data updates according to file editor security layers. File editors can be whitelisted or blacklisted for authorized usage. Available workflows enable ticketed approval before data updates.
