Abstract

Re-evaluation of ‘low-risk’, data-rich, mission-critical mainframes is a security essential. Solutions against modern-day threats have been implemented on distributed platforms, but implementation of solutions for these threats on the mainframe lags implementation on other platforms due to a perception of ‘low-risk’ operations on the mainframe. This may leave an exposure in the environment that can quickly get out of control. This paper analyses how assessment of the environment against the security plan and changing context of mainframe operations will expose gaps and enable an action plan to mitigate risk.
