BMC AMI Security

This continuous monitoring solution can further strengthen even the most secure mainframe. SDS IronSphere for z/OS also provides assistance, while complying with, standards that U.S. agencies are required to follow. Automatic z/OS STIG compliance monitoring is a major highlight, but IronSphere offers many more security compliance features for the mainframe. This tool was created by mainframe penetration testers and compliance-minded, security experts. Due to their experience in the field, IronSphere for z/OS follows the guidelines that play integral roles in the framework of security compliance mandates and are required to be followed within certain sectors. This solution automatically and continuously identifies system risks and then delivers easy-to-follow remediation steps as part of the assessment results. In addition, results are kept within the tool, proving to compliance auditors that you’ve been continuously monitoring your z/OS system and adhering to ISCM and RMF protocols.

Mainframe systems are the foundation of trusted digital experiences for most of the world’s largest companies and organizations. However, passwords protecting critical users, data, and applications are a relatively simple point of attack for hackers to exploit because the passwords rely on user education and compliance for both implementation and control. By using a variety of methods, such as social engineering and phishing, criminals have exploited employees, partners, and general users to hack into even the most secure platforms. IBM Z MFA raises the level of assurance of your mission-critical systems with expanded authentication capabilities and options for a comprehensive, user-centered strategy that helps mitigate the risk of compromised passwords and system hacks. Our designers are also IBM Z MFA users. Across every new version, we incorporate their growing knowledge and expertise in real-world mainframe security scenarios.
