Overview:

Monitor your mainframe's sensitive data and detect malicious activity

IBM® zSecure Alert is an advanced cybersecurity tool for IBM® Db2®, Linux® on IBM® Z Systems® and other supported databases. It can uncover multiple types of attacks and configuration threats and report them through email, cell phones, central security or network management consoles.

Highlights

  • Monitor sensitive data for misuse to enhance access controls
  • Leverage configurable alerts to analyze events, improve security, and reduce costs
  • Detect configuration mistakes or changes before they can be exploited; audit for compliance reporting

Features:

Data Monitoring

Monitor sensitive data with zSecure Alert

IBM zSecure Alert on the mainframe monitors IBM® z/OS®, RACF®, Db2®, CA, ACF2, CICS®, IMS, Communications Server, Tivoli® Workload Scheduler, Health Checker, Linux on IBM z Systems, and UNIX. It identifies resources that require protection by combining threat knowledge and active configuration parameters.

Detection

Detect malicious activity in real time

Unlike other products that only detect breaches from system management facility information, zSecure Alert can also detect malicious activity―even if it is not recorded in the event logs. By comparing real-time activity with recent access patterns, zSecure Alert can discover additional threats.

Monitoring

Get a broad range of monitoring capabilities

zSecure Alert detects various attacks and configuration threats, such as unauthorized logons, security policy violations, system authority changes, suspicious UNIX subsystem activities, sensitive data access and lost zSecure server connections.

Security Alerts

Prevent security breakdowns with fast, flexible alerts

zSecure Alert aids in efficient incident response by alerting you to changes, improper access events and security vulnerabilities by using customizable notifications through various channels. It monitors critical system settings, detects changes and can demonstrate compliance with regulations.

Counter Measures

Obtain guidance on countermeasures

zSecure Alert offers guidance on responding to threats by customizing countermeasures through predefinitions in zSecure Admin, such as revoking users or closing applications. It supports automated actions through "Write to Operator" messages and autonomous RACF commands, empowering quick diagnosis and responses by administrators.

Big Data

Enable scalability for big data systems with V2.2.1

Version 2.2.1 makes it possible to process larger amounts of data by allowing storage above the 2 GB boundary. This can impact paging and storage needs. It also opens up space below the boundary for other programs. With z196 or higher models, 64-bit addressing is automatic but can be reverted to 31-bit by the menu option SE.0 (SETUP RUN).

Benefits:

Detect threats to critical data

Predefined alerts help detect inappropriate behavior for faster incident response.

Maintain data integrity

IBM zSecure Alert can detect malicious activity outside event logs.

Drive down costs

Real-time compliance monitoring on the mainframe reduces costs and exposure from failed audits.

Help keep data secure

Quick diagnosis and closed-loop monitoring to intercept issues aid in addressing exposures.
