IDC and Rocket Software Executive Dinner

Think Your Mainframe’s Secure? Think Again

In Association with

The IBM® zSystems mainframe is the most reliable, available, securable IT system in your enterprise—but that doesn’t mean it’s immune to security risks. Misconfigurations and unsupervised third-party access, or even a single line of unsecure code in production could expose your business to millions of dollars in liabilities and losses.

How are you identifying these vulnerabilities? And are you taking action to ensure the security of your mainframe system and software are a top priority?


Overview

Join Rocket Software for an exclusive event all about securing your mainframe. Featured speakers, including IDC's leading analyst, Duncan Brown, Group VP of Enterprise Research Europe, discussing everything from the anatomy of an attack on the mainframe to steps you should be taking to keep the platform impenetrable, including:

  • What specific security challenges are you seeing with your mainframe infrastructure?
  • What are the main differences in securing mainframe, other on-premise and cloud infrastructure?
  • What should be the key strategic imperatives for mainframe security in the modern age?
