The study emphasizes the critical need for advanced tools to address ransomware, malicious encryption, and file integrity monitoring.


The Rising Threats to Mainframes

While mainframes are traditionally viewed as highly secure, increasing reliance on these systems has made them a target for sophisticated attacks. The 2023 IBM Data Breach Report revealed:

  • $4.45 million: The average cost of a data breach.
