Global online event titled 'Eliminate Your Mainframe Security Gap' will detail how to use real-time mainframe event messages in a distributed SIEM system and is scheduled to broadcast via IBM Systems Magazine's Event Center, Tuesday, June 9, at 1:00 p.m. EDT.
Online, June 3, 2015 (Newswire.com) - CorreLog, the leader in multi-platform IT security event log management, today announced it will deliver its popular educational session titled "Eliminate Your Mainframe Security Gap Using Products You Already Own." The presentation will provide examples of documented mainframe breaches and show how it is possible to leverage RACF, ACF2, and Top Secret data, coupled with DB2 access logs and include the events, in real time, into distributed Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) solutions. Contrary to a traditional approach of sending the mainframe data to the SIEM in batch or nightly reports, this presentation will detail how mainframe security events can be sent to distributed SIEMs in real time, as the events are taking place.
"Having a SIEM system will not be enough to prevent a breach if you don't have real-time security events from your mainframe going into the SIEM," said George Faucher, CorreLog president and CEO. "Real-time enterprise network security should not be relegated to just your distributed systems; live mainframe data must be included to mitigate cyber risk."
CorreLog SIEM Agent for IBM z/OS is able to intercept RACF, ACF2, and Top Secret events and DB2 accesses from z/OS platforms and convert those events to standard syslog SIEM format (LEEF, CEF, RFC 3164) in real time. The syslog messages leave z/OS ready-formatted for SIEM and no further processing outside of z/OS is required. SIEM Agent can be deployed in single or multiple LPARS and installation time can be as fast as 60-90 minutes, depending on the environment. Additional mainframe event types that SIEM Agent can convert in real time are TCP/IP events including FTP, TSO commands, CICS transactions, job start/stops and ABENDS, and many other user/system access activities.
"We are pleased to be working with IBM Systems magazine for this webinar and are eager to help them add more forums for further educating subscribers on best-practice for z/OS security," added Faucher.
