  The evaluation of the ACF2 STIG compliance controls
  ACF2-TC-000030 (IBM z/OS TCP/IP resources must be properly
  protected) and ZISFA020 (IBM System Display and Search Facility
  (SDSF) resources must be properly defined and protected)
  performed by zSecure Audit might result in excessive amount of
  consumed CPU time and storage.
  

Problem conclusion

• zSecure Audit has been modified, so that the CPU time and
  storage demands required for the evaluation of the ACF2 STIG
  compliance controls ACF2-TC-000030 and ZISFA020 are reduced.
