The mainframe is secure by design, typically not by implementation or practice.
- It is critical to leverage Mainframe integrated and secure architecture.
- Mainframe technology must be an integral part of the Enterprise Security Strategy.
- Re-purposing Mainframe as Enterprise Security (Encryption) platform to address pressing compliance requirements such as GDPR and PCI v3.2 to name a few with deadlines in 2018.
- Re-purposing Mainframe as an Enterprise Insurance Policy by extending its Data Encryption capabilities beyond the Enterprise.
- Enterprise Cyber Security capabilities including:
- Access and identity management.
- Activity monitoring for privileged users and sensitive data.
- Activity monitoring and compliance frameworks for infrastructure configuration vulnerabilities.
- Data protection (Encryption) per policy and regulatory requirements.
- Security intelligence for event correlation and suspicious behaviors.
- Incident Response Platform (IRP) to orchestrate resources and processes that can automate the response process.
- Prioritizing the rollout of the required security domains as a single domain is not a sufficient protection strategy.
