How to achieve phishing-resistant, password-less, mainframe security

Businesses have made significant investments in securing traditional IT environments, yet risks to the mainframe persist — and new ones are emerging, such as increasing threats of compliance creep, insider risks from fake workers, and the challenges of extending IAM system controls to the mainframe.

Secure terminal access provides a reliable path forward. Join this webinar for expert advice from Bob Bragdon, Principal of RiskStrat Advisory and Emeritus Publisher of CSO, as well as Kris Lall and Barbara Ballard, both Principal Product Managers for Host Connectivity at Rocket Software.
