Mainframes remain the backbone of the world’s transaction processing infrastructure, from financial data, to business logic, to customer data and more. Because of their significance in this process, mainframes once sat in a secured, physical data center, separated from the rest of the company’s user devices and sometimes excluded from certain parts of the day-to-day security program.
This model is changing, with data center consolidation, hybrid cloud models and new designs that allow mainframes to operate in traditional data center environments. With this change comes the perfect time to reevaluate security processes for the mainframe.
