Security for CICS Web support

When CICS® is connected to the Internet, security measures are essential to prevent unauthorized access to CICS applications and data, and also to prevent third parties obtaining private information that is sent over the Internet.

You should consider security throughout the development process for your CICS Web support architecture, as part of the design of your CICS Web support applications and utility programs, as well as when creating resource definitions for the relevant CICS facilities. This section summarizes the measures that can be used to enhance the security of your CICS Web support implementation.
