Give the built in base IBM i Auditing and security tools a product name

When dealing with Auditors, they nearly always as for product names for tools used to Audit and Secure the IBM i platform. Simply saying we used the built in functions, just leads to more questions. Ideally we could do with a Brand Name or Product Name that could be used as an Umbrella Term for IBM i Auditing and Security. This could be likened to how we refer to all the of the database functionality as Db2 for i So, in this case we might just use the term that is unique and Googleable such as SecAud for i

    IBM does not intend to provide a solution to this Idea at this time, so it is being closed. The concept is interesting however the cost to implement and document a new ?security brand? is below higher priority security work. A suggestion is to refer to it as IBM i Security Auditing and direct the auditor here: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/i/7.5?topic=reference-auditing-security-i, Whether it is a new brand or a simple redirection to that link, the actual compliance comes down how each administrator configures and monitors the built in auditing.
