Get Actionable Insight with Security Intelligence for Mainframe Environments

For the last 50 years the IBM Mainframe has been the most secure computing platform to run critical applications and host essential business data. Customer's business requirements are constantly changing to support new growth opportunities, which in turn affects Mainframe security risks. The resulting security requirements include:

• End user deployment of more vulnerable mobile endpoints (BYOD) to access applications and data.
• Utilization of Mainframe to consolidate workloads providing a virtualization platform for Cloud.
• Need to address worldwide security regulations and industry standards for enterprise security audits and compliance.

Mainframe customers must ask themselves several questions:
• Are mainframe security capabilities aligned to business requirements?
• What are you doing to secure this new interconnectedness?
• Can unauthorized users get to your mainframe data?
• Can authorized users be monitored to detect privileged user abuse?
• Can you automate enterprise event analysis and alerts to react quickly?
• How do you detect risky security configuration settings and changes?
• Can you consolidate security operations and reduce costs?

IBM recommends that customer's employ multiple layers of defense to protect their mainframe assets. These layers of defense address four security domains: People, Data, Application, and Infrastructure. This webinar describes IBM's integrated solution to protecting the mainframe assets, addressing compliance, and reducing costs.
