Securing loopholes in compliance in the z/OS environment

Stream: Enterprise Security
Time: 10:30 - 11:30


Presentation

Action Software have developed systems and management software since 1980.

Background on how the industry has moved from Industry Standards – ITIL, GDPR, CoBIT - to Compliance - Sox, PCI DSS and now EU-GDPR. How the industry and technology has advanced in a short space of time and compliance has evolved from Corporate to Member level.

The penalties for non-compliance.

We worked with a highly experienced IT Auditor to map Industry Standards, Frameworks and Deficiencies for the z/OS environment. We produced a 12-page document listing some of the key areas that might get forgotten but will be picked up by auditors. The document lists the Control Category, the relevant Industry Standard or Framework, the control requirements and the risk of taking no action. (It also lists where our product meets the objective. However, but is still a useful working document for anyone who wants to map their own risk analysis against it).

Copies of the document would be made available

Some of the main Key Risk Areas:   

Unauthorised Access 

Problem Detection

Restoring the System 

Back-up Availability

Undocumented Changes

Incomplete Audit Trail

Illegal Software Use

Aging Mainframe Personnel

Some of the control categories would then be discussed in more detail.

To-day, partly because of social media, any system problems a company experiences become public news very quickly. The longer a system is unavailable, the bigger the fines, compensation claims and bad publicity, etc.

The more that can be automated, including audit trails, the more compliant the system will be. Restoring a system to point of impact as soon as possible reduces the risks and financial impact.
