Secure and Modernize Mainframe Access with Rocket® Secure Host Access

Secure access to your most critical host applications with modern identity and access controls

Mainframe and host applications still run your most essential operations, but green-screen access is often the last place enterprise security standards reach. Traditional terminal emulators and password-based sessions create security gaps, compliance challenges, and audit risk. As AI increases the speed and sophistication of credential-based attacks, closing those gaps becomes even more critical.

Rocket Secure Host Access brings terminal emulation in line with modern enterprise security, extending phishing-resistant, password-less access, centralized management, and detailed session auditing across IBM Z, IBM i, VT, HP NonStop, airline systems, and other critical host environments, from desktop, web, or hybrid deployments.

  • Modern IAM for the green screen: Apply consistent enterprise identity and access policies directly to terminal sessions.
  • Reduced credential-based risk: Strengthen access with MFA, SSO, and password-less, phishing-resistant authentication.
  • Advanced encryption: Protect host data in motion with modern encryption, including TLS 1.3, SSH, and elliptic curve cryptography.
  • Centralized management and data protection: Manage desktop, web, and hybrid terminal emulation from a centralized environment, with redaction capabilities that help protect sensitive data displayed within host sessions.
  • Audit-ready visibility: Centralize session logging to support investigations, access reviews, and compliance evidence.
  • Modernization without disruption: Strengthen security across diverse host environments without changing core systems or disrupting established user workflows.

Strengthen compliance and governance without slowing your teams down

Rocket Secure Host Access goes beyond basic terminal emulation to deliver true access governance for host systems. Traditional green-screen access makes it hard to see who accessed which systems, what actions were taken, and whether policies were followed — a growing liability as regulators sharpen their focus on legacy access.

By connecting terminal emulation with your existing enterprise IAM solutions, Secure Host Access lets security and IT teams apply consistent access policies across mainframe, IBM i, UNIX, Linux, and other host environments — supporting a zero trust posture on the systems where it matters most, with clearer evidence for audits and access reviews.
