If you are a mainframe security professional; information security is synonymous with RACF; ACF2 or Top Secret. But there is another world of IT security that you may not be aware of.
Your organization is probably; right now; investing as much as $2 million or more on a security product called a SIEM (Security Information and Event Management – pronounced “Sim”). SIEMs provide exceptional 21st century security technology such as real-time cellphone text alerts; point-and-click searches; and automatic IP address country lookups.
But as exceptional as SIEMs are; many organizations are making the potentially expensive mistake of either not considering the needs of the mainframe security staff before decisions are set in stone – or of doing nothing to let their SIEM protect their most valuable server; the one with 70% of their enterprise data.
This session will educate you on how a SIEM operates in your enterprise and will include an overview of the various enterprise SIEMs such as those from IBM; HP and Splunk. You will learn how to utilize the capabilities of your enterprise’s SIEM to protect your mainframe against external breaches and malicious insiders – and make that $2 million connection.-Charles Mills-CorreLog
