Description

The Crypto Analytics Tool (CAT) gathers vital security information and assists in creating a detailed inventory of cryptographic assets. Its graphical client simplifies the analysis of security data, providing an enterprise-wide perspective on all z/OS cryptographic consuming LPARs through a single monitoring interface. With a thorough overview of the system's cryptographic security, CAT enables continuous monitoring to ensure that keys and cryptographic functions are properly configured and secure, thereby adhering to established best practices. This tool facilitates the enforcement of policies and compliance requirements, empowering administrators to identify weaknesses and gaps, thus prioritizing necessary enhancements. It offers an extensive assessment of the cryptographic security landscape, including HSM, ICSF, and RACF components. By pinpointing insecure keys and algorithms, CAT aids in maintaining robust security protocols. Furthermore, it allows for the comparison of the current cryptographic state with previous snapshots, which is essential for error detection, problem resolution, and validation of change control processes, ultimately promoting a more secure cryptographic environment. In this way, CAT not only enhances security but also boosts operational efficiency across the organization.

Description

This ongoing monitoring solution enhances the security of even the most robust mainframe systems. SDS IronSphere for z/OS not only aids in adherence to standards mandated for U.S. agencies but also excels in automatic z/OS STIG compliance monitoring, a key feature among its many security compliance tools designed for the mainframe environment. Developed by professionals experienced in mainframe penetration testing and security compliance, IronSphere aligns with vital guidelines that are essential for meeting security compliance requirements across various sectors. This solution provides continuous and automatic identification of system vulnerabilities, along with straightforward remediation instructions as part of its assessment outcomes. Furthermore, the results are securely stored within the tool, ensuring compliance auditors can verify that your z/OS system has been subject to ongoing monitoring and is in line with ISCM and RMF protocols, thereby reinforcing the framework of security for your organization. The tool’s capabilities not only help prevent potential breaches but also enhance overall confidence in the security posture of the mainframe environment.
