TCP/IP is the core of communication for z/OS® mainframes, both for traffic in and out of the mainframe and internally among z/OS images and processor complexes. Proactively manage security risks and failures before they impact users.
IBM Z IntelliMagic Vision for z/OS enhances analysis by translating over 600 raw codes from zERT records into readable text for cipher suite, encryption algorithms and message authentication types.
Forrester Consulting conducted a Total Economic Impact™ (TEI) study that expands on the benefits of IBM Z Intellimagic Vision for z/OS for organizations in terms of risk reduction, hardware, productivity and cost savings, and better performance management.
zERT data helps identify unencrypted connections and assess encryption levels, allowing administrators to easily manage and secure network traffic.
Mainframe encryption can impact TCP/IP address space and CPU usage. zERT data in IBM Z IntelliMagic Vision helps identify these impacts, enabling proactive management of encryption-related costs and performance while ensuring security compliance.
Learn how zERT in z/OS 2.3 provides visibility into network encryption, helping identify gaps and supporting compliance reporting.
Learn strategies for identifying encryption gaps, providing security-related reporting, improving collaboration with integrated reporting on multiple SMF record types, and measuring the CPU impact of technology differences to prevent unplanned resource demand increases.
Discover z/OS Encryption Readiness Technology (zERT) in this webinar. Learn how it enhances network security by providing visibility into encryption status, aiding in compliance and optimizing CPU usage.
