Plug & play SIEM connector for your z/OS mainframes (e.g. ArcSight, Tivoli, etc.)

Target your true auditing & security enemies!

Systems and processes never tell you the whole story. But complete and authentic logs are a prerequisite for both proper IT operation and complete auditing & compliance – including effective detection of fraud and abuse. You may not believe this, but essential and highly critical activity on your recognized z/OS mainframe does not come to your attention simply because it is not logged or properly protected.

The triad of smart and smooth z/OS command and system service verification includes logging, blocking and modifying. SF-NoEvasion for z/OS provides the ultimate hardening and transparency of your audit trails and security mechanisms against information suppression, bypassing, or fraud and abuse. It also improves and enhances critical security controls to allow for highly precise and flexible decisions on their usage! Become the boss by finally knowing the complete story on what’s happening on your z platform!

The plug & play Real-Time Sniffer, Spool Monitor, File Watcher, Universal Log Scanner and Event Forwarder finally let you feed all your security and compliance monitoring applications with event data with the utmost completeness and speed. The included PC-based system for Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) provides a high-performance audit workflow. As an option, it also lets you include events of non-mainframe platforms, such as Windows, UNIX, Linux, etc.

The highest security and compliance levels for the z/OS mainframe platform are requested. All security and compliance standards, like SOX, PCI, ISO, FERC, DOD, HiPAA, etc., claim full (100%) transparency and the ability to completely audit all processes in your company’s IT. Missing audit information represents a top-level risk, implying the impossibility of effectively detecting fraud, abuse and non-compliant behavior.

But how can incomplete logs be possible on platforms that have received the highest levels of [security] certifications? Your fear is reasonable! Various processes may be involved, such as invalid system configurations, critical system services supporting “no logging” features, tricky log suppression, bypassed security mechanisms, and much more. High-value compliance certifications may easily become invalidated in cases of incomplete audit data. Skilled software vendors, staff, or parties with malicious intent may easily dupe you by hiding the “actual truth,” and, furthermore, putting into question your company’s compliance and the legal protections of your auditing.

 

SF-NoEvasion draws on the experience of having penetrated and assessed mainframes for over a decade to achieve extremely secure environments.

It provides comprehensive and smart command and system service verification to completely audit and protect all critical z/OS components, including Security Server (RACF), user authentication, user password change, console commands, FTP, and much more. At last, you don’t have to put up with any potential weaknesses related to your audit trails, and you can finally achieve the highest level of automated controls and completeness in your compliance strategy!

You finally know the whole story that is essential to becoming really compliant and secure!
