CA takes Mainframe security to next level with five upgrades for IBM z/OS
October 2007  by Marc Jacob
CA announced new versions of five solutions for IBM z/OS that strengthen and automate the protection of corporate IT resources, while helping to ensure legal and regulatory compliance. Corporate IT organizations must rigorously authenticate user access to applications and resources to protect critical and constantly growing volumes of data. They also must comply with increasingly stringent regulations—without adding headcount or diverting limited IT resources from other critical tasks.

The new versions meet this challenge by providing enhanced security analysis, compliance, reporting and data protection functionality and by streamlining administrative and management tasks.

The new versions include:

CA ACF2 and CA Top Secret r12 for z/OS, which provide access control for z/OS operating systems— including externalized security controls for CICS, UNIX System Services and IMS—as well as options for centralized DB2 security. A new Compliance Information Analysis feature enables complete analysis and reporting of user entitlements, groupings, and administrative privileges. CA ACF2 and CA Top Secret also exploit a variety of new z/OS 1.9 features.

CA Auditor r12 for z/OS, which provides comprehensive auditing, integrity check, and verification capabilities, and simplifies and automates routine auditing tasks that are often performed manually. It helps auditors achieve compliance and determine risk by adding FIPS-200-compliant baseline analysis functions and analysis support for z/OS UNIX System Services, and by providing in-depth auditing information about the external security manager: CA ACF2, CA Top Secret or IBM RACF.

CA Cleanup r12, which addresses information security, protection and privacy regulations by eliminating outdated access rights. New reporting features track specific compliance and security activities and enable the use of CA Cleanup data in support of entitlement re-certification, as recommended by ISO 270001 2005 A.11.2.4.

CA Tape Encryption r12.5, which simplifies and automates the management of cryptography processes that safeguard critical data stored on z/OS managed tapes, reducing the potential for breach remediation and fines. The new version supports tape selection based on external security manager criteria for enhanced control and flexibility in protecting data.

CA’s mainframe security solutions integrate with the company’s offerings for distributed platforms— enabling administrators to manage identities and access and perform auditing and reporting comprehensively across their heterogeneous enterprise computing environments. This unified approach to IT security mitigates risk while reducing technology ownership costs caused by security silos.
