IBM zSecure Command Verifier ensures commands that might affect your data are the correct. Your organization’s data is likely one of its most valuable assets. If that data is housed in a mainframe environment, in the interest of information risk management, why not prevent noncompliant administrative commands that can change or delete access. zSecure Command Verifier will automatically authenticate command keywords against your specified policies as soon as a command is issued.
You specify policies using RACF profiles to determine the type of verification and to define actions when a noncompliant command is detected, including prevention of command execution. The tool generates immediate alerts if certain commands are issued, helping to prevent system outages caused when administrators issue incorrect commands. In seconds, zSecure Command Verifier stores changes to profiles in the RACF database, building a record of when a change to a profile was made and which administrator issued the command.
Learn how to safeguard your people and data from cyberattacks. Get deeper insight into attackers’ tactics and recommendations to proactively protect your organization.
Commands are intercepted as they are entered and compared to your security policy to determine whether or not they should be run.
Retrieve information on changes in seconds, saving hours of log file research and reduce the IT risks associated with accidental or malicious actions performed by privileged users.
Define and specify more focused commands using RACF policy. Generate alerts and grant commands beyond general verifications.
Prevent noncompliant administrative commands from privileged users that can change or delete all profiles within their scope. Automatically verify command keywords against your specified policies as soon as a command is issued to help prevent user errors, regardless of whether the command is initiated from a batch job, or the operator console.
zSecure Command Verifier stores changes to profiles in the RACF database, so you can easily discover when a change to a profile was made and which administrator issued a command. Retrieves information on changes in seconds, saving hours of labor.
