Case Study: Large International Airline eliminates mainframe security blind spot with Precisely's Ironstream for Splunk

International Airline Eliminates Mainframe Security Blind Spot with Ironstream for Splunk

Large International Airline was running Splunk Enterprise and Splunk Enterprise Security to monitor for data leakage, unauthorized access and anomalous activity but lacked coverage for its critical z/OS mainframe, creating a significant security blind spot and leaving its UEBA system without mainframe log feeds. To close that gap the airline selected Precisely’s Ironstream for Splunk after evaluating options.

Precisely’s Ironstream for Splunk was implemented to capture mainframe records in real time and forward them into Splunk with minimal impact on mainframe processing. As a result, the airline achieved enterprise-wide visibility that includes its mainframe, real-time alerting for security issues, reduced risk, and the ability to monitor mainframe availability via a log heartbeat.
