Technical Notes

This technical note provides general security information about running Attachmate products in your environment.

The security for all of the Attachmate products using the Attachmate security features depends upon the security of the operating system, host, and network environment. Attachmate strongly recommends that you evaluate and implement all relevant security service packs, updates, and patches recommended by your operating system, host, and network manufacturers.

All Attachmate Products, Security, and Your Operating System

Security is dependent on a number of factors, one of which is the security of the operating system. This technical note provides links to security information found on the web sites of common operating systems and virtual machines that may be of interest to Attachmate product users. This information is non-inclusive—it does not include all operating systems, nor does it include all links to information that may impact the security of your operating system.
