Close the visibility gaps between scheduled assessments

Security policies require active enforcement, yet operational changes often create drift, accumulate permissions, and lead to unnoticed misalignments that can cause vulnerabilities or audit issues.

Rocket z/Assure Continuous Vulnerability Monitor (CVM) helps mainframe security and operations teams continuously monitor production environments for exploitation activity, authority escalation, and unsafe integrity conditions.

Continuous integrity monitoring

Detect exploit conditions and integrity risks as they emerge.

Production-safe monitoring

Observe runtime activity without test-case injection or system restarts.

Extended vulnerability coverage

Complement z/Assure VAP with continuous monitoring between scheduled assessments.

From visibility gaps to continuous control

CVM helps you identify risks that emerge between scheduled assessments, continuously monitoring vulnerability-relevant activity, and providing always-on visibility into exploitation activity and integrity risk indicators, including:

Exploit activity

Real-time exploit activity and ability-to-exploit conditions

Authority escalation

Authority escalation indicators, including conditions identified through Accessor Environment Element (ACEE) analysis

System call behavior

System call behavior that may result in elevated authority

Integrity conditions

Suspicious integrity conditions such as first-read data overlays and memory handling issues

Started task alerts

Started task alerts for operational monitoring

Streaming findings
