Description

IBM RACF for z/OS provides a robust framework for safeguarding mainframe resources by utilizing resource managers to make informed access control decisions. By ensuring that only authorized individuals gain access, it plays a crucial role in keeping sensitive data secure. Users can be authenticated through various means, including passwords, password phrases, digital certificates, Kerberos tickets, or PassTickets. To effectively manage and control access to critical z/OS data, implementing tools designed for this purpose is essential. The RACF database stores detailed information about users, resources, and their corresponding access rights, which is essential for enforcing your security policies. This database is instrumental in determining who can access protected resources based on established security guidelines. Additionally, RACF features comprehensive logging and reporting capabilities that track user attempts—both successful and unsuccessful—to access resources, thus facilitating the detection of potential security breaches or vulnerabilities. This functionality enhances your ability to monitor and respond to security threats. Moreover, with the RRSF, you can execute most RACF commands on a node while using a user ID that is different from the one currently logged in, offering greater flexibility in managing security. This level of control is vital for maintaining a secure mainframe environment.

Description

Hybrid data stacks create duplication and delay: mainframe records, on prem apps, and cloud platforms often end up with mismatched copies, brittle ETL, and long lead times for “just one more feed.” Moving large datasets for every use case is slow, costly, and expands the security surface. Rocket® Data Virtualization™ is a data virtualization and federated query solution that enables a governed, virtual data model across mainframe, distributed, and cloud sources—so BI tools, analysts, and applications can query sensitive data in place. Key capabilities: • Federated SQL queries/joins across heterogeneous sources with pushdown • Standard connectivity (e.g., JDBC/ODBC/REST) for BI, analytics, and apps • Virtual views/semantic layer to simplify access and reuse logic • Centralized security controls, auditing, and masking (where supported) • Optional caching/materialization to balance performance and freshness Result: faster time to data with less ETL and lower migration risk.
