Audit and Compliance

Easing the Enterprise Audit and Compliance Burden - Overview

Vanguard Analyzer™ - delivers comprehensive system integrity, verification and auditing solutions that include assessment, risk identification, threat analysis, and specific instructions on how to fix identified problems. Analyzer simplifies the audit process and provides an in-depth overview of current system status, identifies exposures in simple business risk language, and prioritizes findings for immediate action. The new version adds support for duplicate module analysis to make it easier to research the validity of datasets, and increased filtering of audit findings resulting in more focused and meaningful reports.

Vanguard Configuration Manager™ - provides the fastest, most cost-effective and accurate method to verify that mainframe security configuration controls are in compliance with the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) Security Technical Implementation Guides (STIG) developed for the Department of Defense (DoD). Organizations using Vanguard Configuration Manager can perform mainframe DISA STIG checks and report findings in just a few hours instead of the hundreds or thousands of hours it may take using standard methods.

Vanguard inCompliance™ - delivers continuous auditing to verify system compliance with an organization's set security policies. inCompliance provides an instant overview of an organization's entire RACF environment, detailed views of any compliancy check, immediate identification of high-risk situations and potential compliancy violations, and recommends corrective actions where appropriate. The new version includes baselines of data set profiles, easier compliance reporting and backend database support for DB2 UDB for Windows.

Vanguard Enforcer™ - provides real-time intrusion protection, detection and management solutions for the mainframe that are proven to prevent human error and deliberate attacks. Enforcer protects critical data and other resources by ensuring that an organization's security and compliance standards, policies, rules and settings are in place and enforced. The new version is EAL3+ certified and includes support for maximum-length static system symbols and an upgraded, easier to use ISPF user interface and administration guide.

Vanguard Policy Manager™ - Vanguard Policy Manager reduces security risks and assists organizations in meeting regulatory compliance requirements. Designed to help enforce security policies and ensure that administrators cannot issue unauthorized commands, Vanguard Policy Manager enables security officers to precisely control who has authority to execute specific commands.

Cloud Security

Many large enterprises are looking for ways to outsource email and other applications to the cloud. A critical requirement for making cloud outsourcing migration a success is to ensure that security exposures are not increased. While cloud-based services provide many benefits, they can also significantly increase an organization's security risks and vulnerabilities, especially if proper processes to safeguard corporate data are not implemented.

Continuous Monitoring

Vanguard Advisor™ - provides the most comprehensive event detection, analysis and reporting capabilities for the mainframe environment. Advisor accesses log data and information from RACF to guide administrators or analysts in finding and fixing potential security problems. Enhancements in the new version include expanded DB2 summary and detail reports and the ability to display full RACF commands when reporting events and violation details.

Identity and Access Management

Taking Control of Mainframe Security - Overview

Vanguard Administrator™ - offers the highest levels of security administration to simplify and enhance security management functions on systems running RACF^®. Administrator includes the widest range of administration, data mining and reporting tools available today. The new release adds enhanced digital certificate management, strengthened user authentication, protection of LDAP client configurations, support for PCICC private key, and expanded masking capabilities.

Vanguard SecurityCenter™ - the first Windows-based graphical user interface for IBM's RACF and DB2 security administration, offers the ideal solution for decentralized security administration. Security Center graphically presents hard-to-find security information, replaces dozens of native commands with easy point-and-click and drag-and-drop operations, and provides an easy, intuitive training environment. The new version includes support for multiple RACF database management, password phrases, hard revokes, and dynamic caching of DB2 user authorization changes.

Vanguard Authenticator™ - is a scalable, modular and integrated authentication solution that enables enterprises to control access to the entire IT infrastructure from a central location. This solution makes it easier for enterprises to manage access because the number of user IDs is significantly reduced and users have a single password to remember and maintain.

Vanguard ez/SignOn™ - solves registration and enrollment problems with a universal password and intrusion detection solution for multi-platform environments.

ez/SignOn is currently available for:

Windows XP/2003
OS/400

Vanguard ez/Token™ - a two-factor authentication solution integrated with RACF^® for users logging on to the mainframe.

Vanguard Tokenless Authentication™ - delivers strong authentication capabilities by generating and sending a one-time use, time-sensitive passcode to a communication device the user already possesses: the user's cell phone, PDA, Blackberry and more.

Vanguard ez/Integrator™ - allows diverse platforms to interface and use the proven authentication, authorization and auditing capabilities of an IBM^® mainframe.

Vanguard PasswordReset™ - is an innovative self service, browser-based password resetting solution that allows authorized users to quickly and securely change their own RACF passwords anytime, from anyplace.
