Case Study: a leading multi-national bank streamlines mainframe vulnerability scanning with Rocket z/Assure Vulnerability Analysis Program

a leading multi-national bank streamlines mainframe vulnerability checks with Rocket Software, uncovering greater-than-expected risk

A leading multi-national bank faced the challenge of transitioning its mainframe vulnerability scanning to its penetration testing team, which lacked mainframe expertise following a PCI audit. They turned to Rocket Software and its Rocket z/Assure Vulnerability Analysis Program (VAP) for a solution.

Rocket Software provided a comprehensive education program and automated tools to integrate and optimize mainframe vulnerability scanning. This enabled the penetration testing team to automate checks and improve reporting. The result was a streamlined process that identified greater vulnerabilities than anticipated, freed up key mainframe team resources, and allowed the bank to make more data-driven security decisions.
