Mainframe Security

Security is a major concern for all organizations today. It is essential to make sure the right people have access to the right data. Without the appropriate security measures in place, you might find someone destroying your valuable data, or selling your company's secrets to your competitors or someone invading the privacy of others. While mainframe security is generally considered more secure than other platforms, the creation of a more open infrastructure exposes the enterprise to unprecedented security threats.
Overview

What is Mainframe Security?

Mainframe continues to simplify and unify IT management and help you harness the potential of the mainframe platform while masking its complexity. For over 28 years, mainframe data centers have relied upon — and continue to rely upon — Mainframe Identity and Access Management expertise to manage, protect and secure their environments, and CA is poised to lead the delivery of mainframe security management software for years to come.

What challenges does it meet?

Effective security management cannot exist in isolation. It should be viewed as part of an overall IT infrastructure that covers many disciplines. Duroob's focus is to optimize the performance, reliability and efficiency of enterprise IT environments by tightly integrating the control and management of distinct functions: operations, storage, security, life cycle and service management. By using a centralized IT management system to provide a unified view of all aspects of the enterprise in relation to business activities and needs, Duroob provides the foundation for a truly business-centric IT organization.

What are the benefits?

These concerns can be addressed through the deployment of a comprehensive and integrated platform for Identity and Access Management (IAM). The Mainframe Security Suites helps you reduce costs, facilitate new business opportunities, enable regulatory compliance, and mitigate security risks associated with users and their access to resources and applications.

What platforms does it support?

Mainframe Security extends its security, reporting, monitoring, and management capabilities to z/OS, z/VM, z/OS UNIX, Linux for zSeries, DB2, IMS and CICS environments.
