Pres. Trump says gov’t agencies need better security – MQ security too?

The other day, U.S. President Donald Trump said:

the government agencies need to better protect their networks.

Most of the U.S. government agencies use IBM MQ for their messaging middleware. Application messages that traverse their MQ environment contain confidential and highly secure information.

As many of you know,

A basic setup of IBM MQ Server potentially allows any user to freely access any message in any queue.

Over the years, IBM has taken some basic steps to have more security after a default install of MQ but it is still up to the MQAdmin to do a LOT more work. It is up to the MQAdmin to implement tighter rules and/or add OAM permissions and/or create security exits and/or purchase MQ security solutions and/or purchase SSL certificates, etc.

Capitalware specializes in MQ security. We already help a U.S. government agency protect their MQ environment and we help other government agencies from around the world to protect their MQ environment. We will gladly help any government agency protect their MQ environment.

I would think it is far better to get ahead of the situation rather than be called out by President Trump!!
