Mainframes are not impenetrable. Recent healthcare, financial services, auto sector breaches prove that traditional security assumptions leave critical vulnerabilities exposed. This session reveals why conventional mainframe security fails and demonstrates modern defensive capabilities that address these gaps: Current vulnerabilities: - Techniques used in to bypass ESMs - Insider threats with legitimate credentials - Ransomware targeting mainframe data - Reconnaissance activities going undetected - Attacks in the network moving laterally to mainframes This session will review modern defense techniques such as identifying behavioral anomalies that precede insider attacks, integrity monitoring to reveal ransomware insertion, mainframe network awareness to prevent data exfiltration, and many other concepts An attack simulation, showing immediate interception and damage control will illustrate how modern tools can freeze perpetrators in their tracks, providing valuable time for support staff to respond correctly.
