Achieve Compliance Without Impacting Productivity

Implementation of proper audit trails and authorizations for mainframe systems maintenance can be a daunting task. The need to react quickly to maintain a secure, continuously available computing environment collides with the workload of satisfying compliance and audit requirements for changes, making an already complex task even more so. Adding multiple steps or changing the way systems programmers currently work can impede their ability to make prompt changes. Systems programmers must use a wide variety of tools to perform their jobs. A single change management process for everyone is not possible in today’s environment. Solving this dilemma requires an automated way of generating audit trails and obtaining authorizations without adding manual steps or changing the way systems programmers currently work. Such a solution should fit in transparently with current tools and be easy to implement, while adding value to these existing processes.

In addition, this solution should provide a means to leverage audit trails to provide further functionality. For example, propagating real-time event information to SIEM systems enhances the analysis of alerts for security monitoring and protecting your data from threats, and satisfying increasing governance and compliance requirements.
