Tech Talk -
Db2 Security and Compliance Support
Although security and compliance are deeply intertwined, they are not the same. One is used to ensure that something (in our case, data) is only accessed by individuals who have been authorized to access it, while the other is used to put a specific set of controls in place that ensures an organization is abiding by a regulation. With GDPR requirements going into effect, are your data solutions in compliance? Attend this Webcast to understand: Differences between security and compliance; Some of the more common compliance regulations companies must adhere to; An overview of GDPR; A deep dive into the Db2 security mechanisms that can be used to support different compliance specification provisions; Putting it all together. Presented by Roger Sanders, IBM Db2 Offering Manager.

A RESTful Approach for Working with Db2
A number of years ago, a consortium of vendors worked together to develop a standard protocol for communicating to database servers using RESTful API calls. This article will explain some of the features that are available in the IBM Data Server Gateway for OData Version 1.0.0. (OData Gateway). The OData Gateway enables you to quickly create OData RESTful services to query and update data in IBM Db2 LUW. An introduction to the OData gateway is found in the following developerWorks article.
