Data Governance Programs - How to Get Started

Timothy Valihora is a technical architect, an IBM Information Server (IIS) expert, and the president of TVMG Consulting, Inc. An alumnus of Carleton University, Timothy Valihora is experienced in IIS-related installations, upgrades, patches, and fix packs. He is also experienced in data governance, having worked on numerous data governance projects. Data governance refers to the management of the availability, usability, integrity and security of the data in an enterprise system. Ideally, a data governance program should begin with the executives of an establishment accepting and understanding their key roles. Given the long-term complexity of a data governance program, an organization should develop routines on a small scale with the full involvement of staff members. This strategy may also extend to an executive team appointing a sole lead administrator to foster prompt decisions. Executives should proceed by formulating a data governance framework. This framework stems from the significance of data to an establishment. There is no defined number of administrative levels that an establishment should adopt in this regard. However, data owners and data specialists are indispensable. A data governance program is incomplete without sufficient controls, thresholds, and indices. These are instructive in what data types an organization uses and processes. Given the inevitability of glitches, executives should also develop reporting tools to diagnose and resolve concerns as they arise. Tim Valihora is an expert in ensuring - that "PII" (Personally Identifiable Information) is utilized in a secure fashion. Data Masking and Data Encryption are among the key technologies and approaches that Mr. Valihora has utilized while providing end-to-end Data Governance solutions to over 100 large-scale corporations in Canada, the USA, Asia-Pacific and throughout Europe. Tim Valihora is a US based (Vero Beach, FL) Data Governance specialist within the IBM InfoSphere Information Server (IIS) software suite and is also an expert with respect to Collibra Data Governance Center and Collibra Data Quality (formerly OWL Data Quality.)

Career Highlights for Tim Valihora Include: • Technical Architecture, IIS installations, post-install-configuration, SDLC mentoring, ETL programming, performance-tuning, client-side training (including administrators, developers or business analysis) on all of the over 15 out-of-the-box IBM IIS (InfoSphere Information Server) products • Over 160 Successful IBM IIS installs - Including the GRID Tool-Kit for DataStage (GTK), MPP, SMP, Multiple-Engines, Clustered Xmeta, Clustered WAS, Active-Passive (Server) "Mirroring" and Oracle Real Application Clustered (RAC) “IADB” or “Xmeta” configurations • Extensive experience with creating realistic and achievable Disaster-Recovery (DR) for IBM IIS installations + Collibra Data Quality clusters • IBM MicroServices (MS) (built upon Red Hat Open-Shift (RHOS) and Kubernetes Technology) installations and administration including Information Governance Catalog (IGC) “New”, Information Analyzer (IA) “thin”, Watson Knowledge Catalog (WKC) and Enterprise Search (ES) – on IBM Cloud PAK for Data (CP4D) platforms or IIS v11.7.1.4 “on-prem” • Over 8000 DataStage and QualityStage ETL Jobs Coded • Address Certification (WAVES, CASS, SERP, Address Doctor, Experian QAS) • Real-Time coding and mentoring via IBM IIS Information Services Director (ISD) • IIS IGC Rest-API coding (including custom audit coding for what has changed within IGC recently…or training on the IGC rest-explorer API) • IGC “Classic” and IGC “New” – Data Lineage via Extension Mapping Documents or XML “Flow-Docs” • IBM Business Process Manager (BPM) for Custom Workflows (including Data Quality rules + IGC Glossary Publishing etc.) • Information Analyzer (IA) Data Rules (via IA or QualityStage – in batch or real-time) • IBM IIS Stewardship Center installation and Configuration (BPM) • Data Quality Exception Console (DQEC) setup and configuration • IGC Glossary Publishing Remediation Workflows (BPM, Stewardship Center, Subscription Manager)

After discussing about the concept of Informix in a nutshell, one should concentrate on some of the security features in the data provider for Informix as a whole. Whereas, one can use the OLE DB Provider for Informix (Data Provider) to connect Windows data consumer applications to that of the remote IBM Informix relational database management servers. However, the Data Provider, generally, function as a distributed relational database architecture (DRDA) application requester client that supports the DRDA protocol and formats that are compatible both with IBM Informix server products functioning as DRDA application servers. 

At the same time, one can use the data provider by issuing structured query language statements. These statements include that of the data definition language statements for administration and data manipulation management statements for read and write operations. Whereas, the data provider connects the Windows client applications to the Informix server databases with the assistance of a transmission control protocol over an internet protocol (TCP/IP) network that use one or more of the optional security features described later in this particular article.

Security

User Account- On the other hand, the data provider tools, data access tool and data links, all basically run in the context of a particular user account, and the user account has to be a member of the HIS administrators and HIS runtime user's local groups.

Folder Access Control List

However, the user account, on the other hand, basically requires the folder access control list settings associated with the HIS administrator's local group and HIS runtime user local group.

Thus, some of the codes and path of running it are as follows

“Program Files\Microsoft Host Integration Server 2021

Program Files\Microsoft Host Integration Server 2021\system

Program Files\Microsoft Host Integration Server 2021\ SysWOW64Program Files\Microsoft Host Integration Server 2013\traces

Documents\Host Integration Server\Data Sources”

Some of the security features in the Data Provider for Informix are as follows

o Data Tools store the authentication credentials in plain text in the Universal Data Link (UDL)

In general, it is the data links that stores the authentication credentials like user name and password in a plain text format, especially within the Universal Data Link (UDL) file. Thus, one recommends that you configure the data providers to use enterprise single sign-on (ESSO), which securely stores mappings from windows active directory accounts to IBM Informix credentials as a whole. Thus, it is the data providers that basically retrieve these mappings at runtime to securely authenticate Windows users to remote IBM Informix database servers. At the same time, one should run the data provider in-process with the data consumer and data tools.

o Data Provider connects by using unencrypted, plain text, user name and password

On the other hand, it is the data provider that mainly connects to the remote Informix server computers over a TCP/IP network using basic authentication, where the user's name and password are not encrypted and are submitted with the assistance of a plain text. In general, it is recommended that you configure the data provider to use authentication encryption simply by using secure sockets layer (SSL) V3.0 or transport layer security (TLS) V1.0.

o Data Provider sends and receive unencrypted data

In general, data provider sends and receives unencrypted data more often than not, as it is recommended that one should configure the data provider efficiently in order to use data encryption with the assistance of secure sockets layer (SSL) V3.0 or transport layer security (TLS) V1.0 as a whole.

o Data consumers and data tools read and write connection files to and from unsecure folders

In basic terminology, data consumers and data tools can seamlessly read and write connection files to and from unsecure folders without any kind of hassles. As a result, one should quickly store universal data link (UDL) files in the host integration server\data sources or a program directory, and then secure the folder with local administrator rights as a whole. On the other hand, one should persist the connection information into the data consumers and data tools secure stores, and then run the data provider in-process with the data consumer and data tools as a whole.

o Data Consumers and Data Tools can request connections with invalid properties

At times, both data consumers and data tools can more often request connections with invalid connection property values, and one should use the data consumers that create connections using the data provider connection objects instead of passing unverified connection string argument name value pairs. Also, one should set a priority connection timeout value to cancel all the invalid connection attempts at the same time.

o Data Consumers and Data Tools can request commands with invalid data

At the same time, data consumers and data tools can request commands with invalid data, and you should use the data consumers that create commands using the data provider command with the parameter objects, to validate parameter types, instead of passing an unverified command string with the following inline data values. However, one should quickly set a command timeout value to cancel the invalid command attempts. Also, you should set a command timeout value to cancel the invalid command attempts, and use DRDA distributed unit of work (DUW), instead of remote unit of work (RUW), to protect the Data Consumers using the two-phase commit transactions.

In conclusion, it can be said that if you follow all these security features religiously, then you can keep your data provider in Informix secured in every possible way.
