Detect Ransomware Attacks in Real Time

FIM+ V2.2 introduces enhanced detection capabilities to identify and respond to malicious encryption processes within seconds. The Early Warning system identifies unauthorized changes to datasets and system files, offering an immediate alert before widespread damage can occur.

Key capabilities include:

  • Monitoring of VSAM, PDS, and UNIX System Services (USS) files
  • Rapid detection of suspicious encryption patterns
  • Support for automated incident response via SIEM integration

Strengthening Zero Trust for z/OS Environments

Zero Trust strategies are becoming essential in modern enterprise security. FIM+ supports this model by enforcing strict validation of every file and component, ensuring that only verified and approved changes are allowed.

Benefits include:

  • Protection against unauthorized code or configuration changes
  • Monitoring of privileged user activity
  • Reduced risk of lateral movement by internal or external actors

Integration with Leading ITSM and SIEM Tools

FIM+ integrates directly with enterprise platforms including ServiceNow®, Remedy®, Splunk®, and IBM QRadar®. This allows security and operations teams to respond to mainframe threats using the tools they already rely on.

  • Generate alerts in real-time within SIEM dashboards
  • Automate ticket creation and escalation
  • Streamline coordination between mainframe and distributed security teams

Simplified Recovery and Forensic Investigation

In the event of a breach or failed configuration change, FIM+ allows teams to quickly identify what changed and when. With its browser-based GUI and historical tracking, teams can isolate affected files and restore known-good baselines with minimal delay.

Features include:

  • Timeline view of file changes
  • Manual and automated recovery options
  • Detailed audit logs for forensics

Compliance and Reporting Improvements

FIM+ V2.2 includes new compliance reporting templates to support regulatory frameworks such as SOX, PCI DSS, and NIST. Security teams can quickly demonstrate data integrity and system consistency during internal or external audits.

Enhancements include:

  • Verified component status reports
  • Role-based access to audit functions
  • Reduced manual audit preparation time

Detecting Insider Threats on the Mainframe

Monitoring privileged users on z/OS can be challenging. FIM+ helps identify abnormal activity such as unexpected access patterns or unauthorized modifications by users with elevated permissions.

Use cases include:

  • Tracking of job script or configuration changes
  • Visibility into changes made outside standard workflows
  • Alerting on anomalies that suggest insider misuse
