Presentation
Securing Mainframe Access in an Era of Advanced Threats and Evolving Regulations
DescriptionMainframes continue to power critical enterprise systems, yet securing access to these environments remains a persistent challenge amid increasingly complex cyber threats and stringent regulatory demands. As attackers leverage sophisticated tactics – including insider threats and digital identity deception – organizations must rethink traditional terminal emulation and identity management strategies to stay ahead.
In this forward-looking session, Barbara Ballard, Principal Product Manager at Rocket Software, will provide deep insights into:
• How to identify emerging risks, including spoofed identities, compromised credentials, and how AI is playing a role
• Ways to close the gap between modern identity and access management (IAM) policies and mainframe security controls
• How regulatory frameworks such as DORA, PCI DSS, NYDFS, and HIPAA are reshaping authentication, session auditing, and least-privilege access requirements
• Practical approaches you can use to secure terminal emulation and identity protection to ensure compliance without disrupting operational workflows
