Effortlessly streamline the ongoing and non-interactive process of cleaning up security files with CA Cleanup, which is specifically crafted to aid in meeting various regulatory requirements regarding information security, privacy, and protection. In mainframe security databases, outdated user IDs and entitlement definitions often linger, presenting a mismatch with an individual's current responsibilities; this situation fosters uncertainty, heightens risk, and amplifies the chances of security vulnerabilities. Additionally, it imposes an unwarranted strain on system administrators and the overall system. As regulatory, statutory, audit, and staffing challenges intensify, there is an urgent need to tackle the issue of excessive security entitlements. CA Cleanup addresses this necessity by operating continuously, tracking your security system’s activities to document which security definitions are actively utilized and which are not. It diligently monitors security activities, allowing for the identification of both utilized and dormant access rights associated with any user or application. This not only enhances security protocols but also lightens the load for administrators, making security management more efficient and effective.
