z/Assure Vulnerability Analysis Program (VAP)

Fortify Defenses. Without the Oversights.

Elevate your mainframe’s security posture with z/Assure VAP, ensuring your system remains resilient against modern threats while optimizing its performance.

• Automated, Real-Time, Binary Code Scanning: We make it possible for enterprises to scan the operating system layer of the mainframe to identify zero-day vulnerabilities without the use of signature files.
• Precise Vulnerability Detection: Utilize the power of the Interactive Application Security Testing (IAST) model, pinpointing real vulnerabilities and guiding developers directly to the issues.
• Detailed Vulnerability Reports: Empower your teams with comprehensive insights, streamlining the path to immediate remediation.
• Proactive Defense Strategy: By understanding and debunking the myths around mainframe security, z/Assure VAP ensures a proactive approach to strengthening mainframe defenses.

How z/Assure VAP works

Manually scanning systems isn’t just time-consuming—it’s impractical. Rocket Software advocates for a systematic, automated approach:

1. Initiate a baseline scan of your enterprise.
2. Review the Vulnerability Detail Reports (VDRs).
3. Engage with vendors using VDRs.
4. Implement patches from vendors.
5. Rescan to confirm vulnerability resolution.
6. Regularly scan before maintenance is applied into your production environment.
