Three things to note for SAS admins: October 2017

[ShelleySessoms]

There’s no way you can keep up with everything that gets posted to this admin community, we're way too active for that! So, I’m here to point out three things I found interesting this month:

• Simon Williams is helping you determine which SAS 9.4 order your platform is built on

• Gerry Nelson provides you with a tip for moving content between SAS Viya environments

• Margaret Crevar posted about two new storage array tuning papers

Do you have other “don’t miss” content from this month? Reply with a comment and share!

In October 2017, @DavidStern and @PaulHomes presented at a SAS UK Customer Loyalty webinar on SAS® Security Model Design Golden Rules, Validation, and Monitoring. The webinar looked at designing and implementing a SAS security model, what resources are available including the 8 golden rules of security model design. Once a security model implementation is in place you'll want to establish security integrity and management. Paul demonstrated how Metacoda software can help ensure your SAS environment remains secure with validation and active and regular monitoring. Watch the webinar recording to learn the best practice way with the demonstration tailored from the quizzes. Use it also as an opportunity to assess and grow your understanding of SAS security too.

@CarolineScottow created a SAS Communities page with a link to the webinar recording, Q&A and slides at http://bit.ly/SASUKMetacodaWebinar

Following SAS security best practices is a fundamental requirement and the Golden Rules for Security Model Design is a must read for a diligent SAS admin.
