About SDS IronSphere
This continuous monitoring solution can further strengthen even the most secure mainframe. SDS IronSphere for z/OS also provides assistance, while complying with, standards that U.S. agencies are required to follow. Automatic z/OS STIG compliance monitoring is a major highlight, but IronSphere offers many more security compliance features for the mainframe. This tool was created by mainframe penetration testers and compliance-minded, security experts. Due to their experience in the field, IronSphere for z/OS follows the guidelines that play integral roles in the framework of security compliance mandates and are required to be followed within certain sectors. This solution automatically and continuously identifies system risks and then delivers easy-to-follow remediation steps as part of the assessment results. In addition, results are kept within the tool, proving to compliance auditors that you’ve been continuously monitoring your z/OS system and adhering to ISCM and RMF protocols.

More so, increasing regulatory, statutory, audit and staffing pressures are bringing new concerns and mandates to address the problem of excessive security entitlements. This is why CA Cleanup is needed. Executes continuously, monitoring your security system activity to record the actual security definitions that the system is or is not using. Monitors security activity and can identify used and unused access for any user or application.

Rocket z/Assure VAP
Rocket z/Assure Vulnerability Analysis Program (VAP) is a specialized mainframe security solution that scans and analyzes vulnerabilities in IBM z/OS operating system code to help organizations identify, assess, track, and mitigate security risks that could expose critical data. Unlike traditional vulnerability tools that focus on application layers, z/Assure VAP conducts thorough and precise binary code scanning at the OS level to detect zero-day and integrity-based vulnerabilities without relying on signature files, using an Interactive Application Security Testing (IAST)-style approach to pinpoint real weaknesses and guide developers to the exact code requiring remediation. It generates detailed vulnerability disclosure reports that provide actionable insights and clear paths to fix issues, enabling teams to prioritize risk, strengthen defenses, and make mainframe vulnerability management a repeatable part of IT security and compliance programs.
