A spotlight on System z security
The security-rich holistic design of the IBM mainframe can mitigate the risk of security breaches; help to protect your organization's brand image and, ultimately, your bottom line. Originally designed to be shared by thousands of users, the IBM mainframe has security built into nearly every level of the computer - from the processor level, to the operating system to the application level. This design helps protect System z from malware, viruses and threats from insiders.
System z security features can help you to meet regulatory reporting needs with confidence. These include encryption solutions to help secure data from theft or compromise, access control management and extensive auditing features - with the simplicity of centralized management.
System z security is one of the many reasons why the world's top banks and retailers rely on the IBM mainframe to help secure sensitive business transactions.
