About SDS IronSphere

This continuous monitoring solution can further strengthen even the most secure mainframe. SDS IronSphere for z/OS also provides assistance, while complying with, standards that U.S. agencies are required to follow. Automatic z/OS STIG compliance monitoring is a major highlight, but IronSphere offers many more security compliance features for the mainframe. This tool was created by mainframe penetration testers and compliance-minded, security experts. Due to their experience in the field, IronSphere for z/OS follows the guidelines that play integral roles in the framework of security compliance mandates and are required to be followed within certain sectors. This solution automatically and continuously identifies system risks and then delivers easy-to-follow remediation steps as part of the assessment results. In addition, results are kept within the tool, proving to compliance auditors that you’ve been continuously monitoring your z/OS system and adhering to ISCM and RMF protocols.
