Overview
Fast and Flexible Encryption for Mainframe Data Sets
If you're like many mainframe users, your business depends on a wide range of JCL-driven batch file processes to run predictably and efficiently. Company-wide, your IT organization faces urgent challenges to secure sensitive data for regulatory compliance, or to prevent a costly breach of customer information. Meanwhile, tightened budgets provide for less discretionary spending on software development, complex software integration tasks, or additional CPU power to ensure that new processing requirements continue to fit within your "window." We think we can help.
Rocket File Encryption for z/OS provides a fast and flexible way to secure sensitive data handled by your mainframe batch file processes. It integrates quickly with existing batch processes, its high-performance design helps to minimize additional CPU usage, and it relies exclusively on RSA Key Manager for best-of-breed management for encryption key access management and life-cycling.
Highlights
- Integrates quickly and easily with existing JCL-driven batch processes to secure sensitive data
- Creates encrypted archives from single data sets, multiple data sets, or entire volumes
- Allows selective restoration of decrypted archive contents
- Leverages the class-leading encryption key life-cycle management and access control features of RSA Key Manager
- Uses hardware acceleration for cryptographic processing on supporting systems
System Requirements
- RSA Key Manager Client v1.5.2 for z/OS
- A network-accessible instance of RSA Key Manager Server
- IBM z/OS V1R9, V1R10, V1R11, or V1R12
- IBM System-z9 or higher for hardware-accelerated AES with 128-bit keys
- IBM System-z10 or higher for hardware-accelerated AES with 192-bit and 256-bit keys
