IBM z/OS Authorized Code Scanner (zACS)

(1AO)

Stream: Virtual Room 1
Time: 12:00 - 13:00


Presentation

This customer-driven feature of z/OS that launched in 2020 provides a powerful tool that dynamically scans authorized code in a dev/test environment for integrity.  It tests the Program Calls (PCs) and Supervisor Calls (SVCs) of the z/OS stack, which can include code from IBM, from the z/OS ecosystem, or in-house customer code.  This session will clarify the criticality of system integrity to z/OS, then explain how to configure and execute this tool, with tips as to how to remediate its potential findings.
