Key Mainframe Takeaways from the Gartner Security & Risk Management Summit

Last week I attended the Gartner Risk and Security Management Summit in National Harbor, Maryland. What a great event – networking with the best and brightest in security at a beautiful venue. A few of my key take-aways from the inspiring sessions were:

  • Security Operations Centers (SOCs) are overwhelmed and understaffed. Too much information to sift through to make timely decisions demands intelligent and automated responses to assist security analysts
  • SIEMS are moving to Artificial Intelligence empowered Entity and User Behavior Analytics (UEBA) and Security Orchestration, Automation and Response (SOAR)
  • Top Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) challenges include “Alert Fatigue” and “Lack of contextual data for conviction”
  • Privileged Access Management is growing by nearly 20% and is leading the way in customer demand.

All these take-aways continue to solidify the need to make sure your mainframe is integrated into your SOC with real-time notifications and actionable alerts. BMC AMI Security delivers the real-time automated mainframe security you need to protect your most critical data from external and internal breaches.

  • Lightweight Multi-LPAR Agents – minimizes configuration and maximizes detection and blocking with a single defender
