Integrate mainframe and IBM i systems into leading IT analytics and operations platforms for an enterprise-wide view to support your digital business. In today’s digital, always-on world, IT is arguably the most important department across your organization. A single security breach or service outage can bring your business to a standstill.

The good news is that there are several platforms to help you monitor IT security and operations across the enterprise in real-time, and take action fast. The challenge, however, is that mainframe or IBM i systems aren’t natively supported by these modern tools.

IBM Resource Access Control Facility (RACF)
IBM RACF for z/OS enables the protection of your mainframe resources by making access control decisions through resource managers. Granting access to only authorized users keeps your data safe and secure. RACF authenticates users with a password, password phrase, digital certificate, Kerberos ticket, or a PassTicket. Protect your mainframe resources with tools that manage and control access to valuable z/OS data. RACF retains information about your users, resources, and access authorities in its database. This database determines access to protected mainframe system resources based on your security policy. RACF has logging and reporting functions that identify users who attempt to access the resource, either successfully or unsuccessfully. Detection of security exposures or threats is made possible by this feature. Through the RRSF, you have the capability to run most RACF commands on a node and a user ID different from the one you are logged on to.
