Mainframe Data Security Software

Reduced processing times, increased cost efficiencies, and security that stays with the data

Increase Operational Efficiencies and Leverage Existing Investments
  • Application Integration: Stream sensitive data directly to and from your applications without ever staging unprotected data to disk
  • System Integration: Directly write to and read from UNIX®/Linux® and Windows® Server environments
  • ICSF Integration: Take advantage of IBM hardware/software encryption while maintaining file compatibility across all platforms
  • File Compression: Compressing data saves time and valuable system resources
  • Contingency Key processing, for oversight of encryption use and data recoverability
  • Archiving for file management, including all metadata needed to allocate space and restore original files, for improved operational efficiency
  • FIPS 140-2 compliant processing for government and other applications
  • Encryption using certificates, passwords, or both at the same time, plus digital signing for authentication, in a single job step, so all recipients or customers can be served effectively
  • Complete range of z/OS file type handlers (PDS, PDS/E, VSAM, etc.)
  • Support for the IBM ‘green screen’ ISPF user interface, offering ease of administration, initiation of ad hoc tasks, and actually generating JCL that can be integrated into larger batch processes
  • Cross-platform secure data exchange on all major enterprise computing platforms with automatic EBCDIC to ASCII, ASCII to EBCDIC conversion
Payment industry professionals predict that within the next 18 months, interpretation of the PCI Data Security Standard will prohibit staging unprotected payment data to disk for processing. By ensuring that sensitive data is always protected as it enters and exits the application, PKWARE has addressed this problem and protects sensitive data from being compromised.

"Our research on PCI DSS implementations shows that over the past year, Best-in-Class companies have made the greatest strides in protecting sensitive cardholder data -- at rest, in motion, and in use," said Derek Brink, CISSP, Vice President and Research Director of Aberdeen Group. “By ensuring that sensitive data is always protected as it enters and exits the application, PKWARE aims to help organizations achieve even higher levels of data security.”

SecureZIP for z/OS delivers high performance compression and security in the data center:
  • Defer expensive hardware upgrades by significantly reducing elapsed processing time up to 90% and CPU clock time up to 60% 
  • Interoperability with IBM® System  i, UNIX® and Linux® servers, Windows® Server, and Windows desktops ensures files can be shared across diverse environments 
  • Access encrypted data for audit and compliance purposes
