The mainframe is one of the most secure computing platforms in the world –
offering best-of-class encryption on top of its blistering performance
capabilities. But that doesn’t mean you don’t need to manage your network
encryption carefully. Regardless of the hat you wear: Performance, Capacity,
Systems; everyone has some responsibility for security. Who gets the ‘honor’ of
the next audit? How do we make sure the next security improvement doesn’t wreck
performance with assumptions about processor configurations? A security analyst
role in the mainframe world likely also needs to understand the other
components, too. Do you have something that helps you connect the dots? This
session will introduce you to some of the ways to identify security risks and
issues within network traffic and provide actionable strategies and
recommendations to ensure they don’t appear at your site or cause an unplanned
resource demand increase. You’ll learn strategies for: • Identifying and
addressing any encryption gaps you may currently have • Providing
security-related management reporting • Improving collaboration with Integrated
reporting on multiple SMF record types • Measuring the CPU impact of technology
differences
