Red Alert : z/OS Security and Integrity Service Currency

Here's a new Red Alert:

z/OS Security and Integrity Service Currency.

Abstract:
IBM strongly recommends all z/OS customers validate currency of security and system integrity service levels.

Description:
It has come to IBM's attention that customers may not be validating the currency of their security and system integrity service levels and promptly installing all security and integrity PTFs when made available by IBM.

IBM strongly recommends that users of the z/OS Operating System validate the currency of security and system integrity service and take action to promptly install all security and integrity PTFs. Security and system integrity fixes are included in Recommended Service Upgrades (RSUs) and maintaining RSU currency minimizes exposure to security and integrity issues.
