Welcome to IBM Security zSecure™

This wiki is about the IBM Security zSecure products.

Overview

The IBM Security zSecure products were acquired by IBM several years ago. Previously they were known as the "Consul products". Some of our customers still refer to them by that name. The main development labs where the products are designed and written are located in The Netherlands. The product suite encompasses several products. These are

• zSecure Admin adds a user-friendly layer over RACF to help improve administration and reporting
• zSecure Alert can detect/prevent intrusions and identify misconfigurations through real-time mainframe (ACF2 and RACF) threat monitoring
• zSecure Audit enables you to detect and report security events and exposures on mainframes (for ACF2, RACF, and Top Secret)
• zSecure CICS Toolkit helps free RACF resources from routine administrative tasks through a CICS interface
• zSecure Command Verifier helps enforce mainframe compliance to policies through granular controls for RACF commands
• zSecure Manager for RACF z/VM provides combined audit and administration functionality for the VM environment
• zSecure Visual enables cost savings by decentralizing RACF administration through a Microsoft Windows-based GUI
