Providing the capability to have “enforcement” once gaps are identified and closed creates a powerful way to improve governance, risk and compliance.
The unique integration of the Vanguard Compliance Manager (VCM) and Vanguard Policy Manager (VPM) is a natural evolution of solutions that have a rich history of success as standalone solutions.
The continuous monitoring approach to security and compliance enforcement meets the strict requirements for efficiency while satisfying the operational demands of the ever-changing z/OS landscape.

When the VMA Suite is used with VTAM, it provides a VTAM log-on portal that authenticates users through a one-time-use multifactor authentication PIN and/or security token along with an ESM user ID and, optionally, a password or passphrase when they log on through VTAM.
