Data Location Awareness
Technical Details -
DataLenz runs on IBM Z mainframes with supported releases of z/OS.
Installation of the DataLenz z/OS agent is simple and straight-forward, along with limited network configuration.
DataLenz supports all z/OS data types.
Data access start and end events are recorded for specified datasets, and kept in mainframe-based logs, accessible for reporting and real-time monitoring and alerting through the graphical interface.
The administrative and reporting interface runs as a workstation client, with secure access to your IBM Z mainframes running the DataLenz agent.
The patent pending DataLenz technology tracks the location of your employees, partners, contractors, and rogue actors, with the actual IP address of the device they are using, even if they are going through VPN or using NAT.
TCP/IP has been available for your mainframe since the 1990s, and has now become the de facto means of nearly all network access, including remote for applications, terminal access, file transfer, and more, often via VPN.
But, while regulations and laws and other protection of your IP have mandated full control of your key data and processing, including the geopolitical source of access, the availability and adoption of a solution has not kept up, meaning you lacked the ability to identify and regulate the geographical sources of application and data access by trusted employees and partners, not to mention rogue actors.
That problem can now be addressed.
Today, security in-depth means a great deal more than just authentication, access control to resources and applications, network access controls, firewalls, VPNs, and workstation-based accounts, anti-virus, and related safety software. Legitimate employees, contractors, and partners, not to mention rogue actors using stolen or fraudulent accounts, may access mainframe-based functionality using their mobile devices – such as laptops or smartphones – from anywhere on Earth.
DataLenz: the answer to the need for Geolocation
The time is now for every organization that has an IBM Z mainframe and any data that must not be accessed out-of-bounds to have a Geolocation solution installed. Fortunately, the time is now when such a solution is finally available.
Created with patent-pending geographical-discernment instrumentation, DataLenz is the product of decades of experience and insight on the part of its creators, combined with in-depth research and development to create the right tool to protect your organization.
With mainframe-based monitoring, configuration, and logging, incidents and related data are available real-time for alerting, viewing, and reporting through an advanced graphical interface.
