When it comes to security organizations want to be sure that their systems are protected. Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is a key control to ensuring that only authorized individuals access your critical assets, including the mainframe. Where mainframe organizations struggle is extending enterprise security control to mainframe applications. The practice of separate authentication should be reevaluated, the mainframe must be integrated with enterprise security controls.

Join us on this webinar to:

• Hear real world examples
• See a live demo
• Learn how customers are using MFA for both the enterprise and mainframe applications
