Strengthen Mainframe Cybersecurity and Compliance with Rich User Behavior Intelligence

Application Audit^TM enables enterprises to capture all relevant data about user access and behavior on the mainframe to mitigate cybersecurity risks and fulfill compliance mandates.

Using Application Audit, security staff can:

Deter insider threats by capturing and analyzing start-to-finish user session activity
Integrate user behavior intelligence with popular SIEM engines to analyze the overall application environment
Support criminal/legal investigations with complete and credible forensics
Fulfill compliance mandates regarding protection of sensitive data

The Value of Application Audit

Provides deep insight into user behavior including data viewed, by whom and which applications were used to access it
Leverages SIEM integrations to provide vital mainframe application-level insight to identify and reduce cybersecurity threats
Delivers granular intelligence and reporting capabilities needed to comply with regulations such as HIPAA, GDPR, the Australian NDB scheme, as well as company security policies
Eliminates dependency on specialized mainframe knowledge
Separates the system administrator’s duties from mainframe-inexperienced auditor’s responsibilities with a web UI, so that no single person is in a position to engage in malicious activities without detection

Data Privacy and the Insider Threat: You Can’t Afford to Separate Them

“Effective IT management requires effective monitoring of what is happening for security, cost reduction, capacity planning, service level agreements, compliance, and other purposes,” said Stu Henderson, Founder and President of the Henderson Group. “This is a major need in an environment where security, technology, budget, and regulatory pressures continue to escalate. I welcome a product that provides us a straightforward, comprehensive basis for such monitoring.”
