Precise penetration testing software for compliance

Our Mainframe Penetration Testing software uses the same tools, techniques, and processes as attackers to uncover and document weaknesses. By proactively documenting the details of potential attacks that could happen to your unique z/OS® system(s), these tests examine whether your system is robust enough to withstand threats from authenticated and unauthenticated positions and various system roles. With the right scope, a penetration test can delve into any aspect of your system to ensure comprehensive security.

Vulnerability management alone isn’t enough

Rocket Mainframe Penetration Testing software is more comprehensive than vulnerability assessments alone. Regulations require penetration testing and vulnerability assessments (code and configuration) to identify weaknesses in security settings and vulnerabilities in z/OS operating system layer programs.  However, these methods serve slightly different purposes, so many organizations leverage both pen testing and scanning for a comprehensive risk management strategy.

Identify vulnerabilities

Vulnerability scans, both configuration and code-based, leverage tools to identify vulnerabilities based on where your code and configuration standards z/OS drift from where they should be. If wrongfully used, these vulnerabilities could cost your business millions of dollars.

Test. Detect. Protect.

Rocket® Mainframe Penetration Testing software uses tools and tactics wielded by cyber threat actors to replicate the conditions of a genuine hack on your mainframe infrastructure. This allows you to take an informed, aggressive approach to data and system security. Our end-to-end process simplifies pen testing while identifying strategic tactics to protect your business.

Our mainframe penetration testing service has been honed over hundreds of engagements. It starts with a detailed discussion and definition of logistics, test objectives, and the rules of engagement. A detailed interview helps carefully scope and spec the simulated cyberattack(s), including any important corporate considerations.

Using the z/Assure® Vulnerability Analysis Program, our experts can then conduct a hands-on evaluation of the confidentiality and integrity of all physical and logical systems within your specified systems. We look for and identify vulnerabilities that could be exploited.

Finally, we provide a detailed outline of all risks identified, the potential business impact of each issue, insight into the ease of vulnerability exploitation, and our strategic security recommendations.
