Tags:
mainframes

Overview In a world of ever increasing large scale data breaches the mainframe z/OS environment is not immune. But securing credit card, social security and other types of sensitive numbers or data has been huge challenge, especially in large mixed environments that include both mainframe z/OS and open systems. It can be costly, time consuming and disruptive to business operations. The attendee will hear from well-known subject matter experts about the threats and challenges occurring in the mainframe z/OS data security world today and likely future scenarios one should be aware of. The attendee will learn how to achieve data privacy compliance quickly and easily through AES Format Preserving Encryption natively in z/OS and open systems - even going well beyond basic compliance requirements.
