Description
The Crypto Analytics Tool (CAT) gathers vital security information and assists in creating a detailed inventory of cryptographic assets. Its graphical client simplifies the analysis of security data, providing an enterprise-wide perspective on all z/OS cryptographic consuming LPARs through a single monitoring interface. With a thorough overview of the system's cryptographic security, CAT enables continuous monitoring to ensure that keys and cryptographic functions are properly configured and secure, thereby adhering to established best practices. This tool facilitates the enforcement of policies and compliance requirements, empowering administrators to identify weaknesses and gaps, thus prioritizing necessary enhancements. It offers an extensive assessment of the cryptographic security landscape, including HSM, ICSF, and RACF components. By pinpointing insecure keys and algorithms, CAT aids in maintaining robust security protocols. Furthermore, it allows for the comparison of the current cryptographic state with previous snapshots, which is essential for error detection, problem resolution, and validation of change control processes, ultimately promoting a more secure cryptographic environment. In this way, CAT not only enhances security but also boosts operational efficiency across the organization.
Description
The IBM z/OS Authorized Code Scanner (zACS) is an additional paid feature available in z/OS version 2 release 4 and later, aimed at assisting clients in enhancing the security framework of their z/OS systems. This scanner effectively identifies possible vulnerabilities located within the Authorized Program Facility (APF) code libraries. It offers both basic and advanced testing options for Program Controls (PCs) and Supervisor Calls (SVCs). The tool also facilitates AC(1) parameter testing across both batch and UNIX System Services (USS) environments. With a user-friendly visual interface through z/OS Management Facility (z/OSMF), it streamlines the diagnostic process for any necessary remediation. Moreover, it operates in a non-intrusive manner by integrating with z/OS recovery processing. Specifically designed for deployment on production environments, it can automatically collect dumps to aid in problem analysis, ensuring a comprehensive approach to security management. This makes zACS a vital asset for maintaining robust security measures in complex computing environments.
