The integrity of mainframe data and software is critical in fundamentally securing your business. Understanding mainframe vulnerability management is core to successfully surviving mainframe risks.
At any given point, there are a variety of mainframe vulnerabilities in an organization’s environment that are essentially waiting to be exploited. Mainframe vulnerabilities can come from a variety of sources, including hardware configurations, IPL parameters, External Security Manager (ESM) configurations, and 3rd party operating system programs. Building or integrating into an existing risk management framework takes time and effort.
Key takeaways include:
• Building a mainframe vulnerability management program; challenges and best practices
• What is a mainframe risk-based vulnerability management strategy? How do you define vulnerability metrics?
• A review of the lifecycle and how it fits into DORA requirements, which comprises of five ongoing and overlapping workflows.
There is currently no attachment for Building Effect Mainframe Vulnerability Management to Meet DORA Requirements
