Security teams and mainframe operations professionals who need automated vulnerability scanning and analysis to identify, assess, and remediate OS-level risks to strengthen defenses and support compliance

About Rocket z/Assure VAP

Rocket z/Assure Vulnerability Analysis Program (VAP) is a specialized mainframe security solution that automatically scans and analyzes vulnerabilities in IBM z/OS operating system code to help organizations identify, assess, track, and mitigate security risks that could expose critical data or systems. Unlike traditional vulnerability tools that focus on application layers, z/Assure VAP conducts automated, real-time binary code scanning at the OS level to detect zero-day and integrity-based vulnerabilities without relying on signature files, using an Interactive Application Security Testing (IAST)-style approach to pinpoint real weaknesses and guide developers to the exact code requiring remediation. It generates detailed vulnerability reports that provide actionable insights and clear paths to fix issues, enabling teams to prioritize risk, strengthen defenses, and make mainframe vulnerability management a repeatable part of IT security and compliance programs.
