COBOL remains a cornerstone of global business operations powering 70% of the world’s business transaction processing across industries such as banking, insurance, travel, retail, and government. However, running COBOL that has not been modernized – combined with outdated engineering tools and practices – can slow innovation, increase operational risk, and expose systems to today’s security threats. Organizations with COBOL at their core can no longer afford to operate on outdated applications and systems or take unnecessary, expensive risks with application rewrite projects. 

However, for many people, COBOL's reputation is clouded by a number of persistent myths and misunderstandings – even those familiar with COBOL may still judge it based on how it looked and operated over 30 years ago.

Learn why COBOL remains vital to global businesses and how Rocket Software products enable modernization without disruption.

You’ll discover:
- How COBOL has stood the test of time and continues to deliver value
- The biggest challenges enterprises face with COBOL today
- Best practices and tools for successful modernization
- How AI is reshaping modernization strategies

COBOL: Modernization Without the Myths

Rejoignez-nous pour un webinaire exclusif consacré à la réplication des données de DB2 for i.

Au programme :
• Un tour d’horizon des dernières nouveautés DB2 for IBM i (IBM France)
• Comment répliquer et synchroniser vos données IBM i en temps réel, avec des performances optimales, vers le Cloud et les plateformes Big Data (Rocket Software)
• Avec le retour d'expérience de SEMAE

DB2 for IBM® i : Répliquez et synchronisez vos données vers le Cloud et le Big Data

In today’s always-on business world, slow or unreliable data means missed opportunities, stalled decisions, and frustrated teams. 

Real-time replication is your competitive edge. Whether you’re synchronizing information across hybrid environments or breaking down silos between mission-critical systems, it keeps everyone working with the right data, exactly when, where, and how they need it. 

And, that real-time foundation isn’t just about improving workflows — it’s the launchpad for AI. AI is everywhere now but it’s only as good as the data you feed it.  Without timely, accurate, and trusted information, even the most sophisticated AI models can’t deliver meaningful insights. 

Join Rocket Software and Trigent for a deep dive into: 

• The latest trends driving data modernization 
• The hidden risks and costs of lagging or inconsistent replication 
• How Rocket DataEdge — including Data Replicate and Sync — enables seamless, high-speed, and reliable data movement across your enterprise 
 
In a candid exchange, Ray Sullivan, Vice President, Product Management at Rocket Software, and Chella Palaniappan, President of Trigent, will share: 

• Why Trigent partnered with Rocket 
• How they’re helping clients overcome complex data challenges 
• What excites them most about building AI-ready data infrastructure for the next wave of innovation 
 
If your data isn’t real-time, your decisions aren’t either.

Real-time Data Revolution: Building Your Data-Driven Future with Rocket Software and Trigent

Mainframes remain the backbone of critical industries, processing 75% of enterprise data and supporting $3 trillion in daily commerce. However, they are not immune to cyber threats. Security leaders in financial services, government, and banking must recognise that vulnerabilities—ranging from misconfigurations and code-based flaws to third-party vendor risks and insider threats—pose serious risks to operational integrity and compliance. A failure to incorporate mainframe security into risk management strategies can lead to devastating financial and reputational consequences.

This webinar hosted by Infosecurity Magazine includes:
- Real-world examples of mainframe vulnerabilities, including how third-party software flaws, like those seen in recent cybersecurity incidents, can introduce catastrophic risks.
- Regulatory requirements and best practices for vulnerability management, surgical data recovery, and proactive security strategies to ensure resilience.
- Actionable insights into securing their mainframes, identifying risks with precision, and leveraging advanced vulnerability scanning solutions to safeguard critical infrastructure.

Mainframe security: Identifying threats, vulnerabilities, and risk mitigation strategies

Join Jason Bloomberg, Founder and Managing Director of Enterprise IT Industry analyst firm Intellyx as he discusses the challenges faced in maintaining real-time mainframe performance and the role CICS observability plays in supporting teams to optimize performance, analyze operations, and lower MTTR to minimize customer disruption.
 
Alongside Jason will be product and technology experts from Rocket Software providing real customer perspectives on challenges faced and solutions that work. 
Topics include:
• The need for real-time, high performance mainframe operations
• Why observability is critical and what it delivers in a CICS environment
• Identifying low performance and enabling rapid outage resolution
• Modernizing the mainframe with minimal impact
• Addressing the CICS skills shortage and enabling newer staff

Real-Time Business on the Mainframe: How CICS Observability Supports Digital Priorities

Security is often named as a top priority for CIOs. However, when it comes to protecting the business one crucial area tends to get overlooked: the mainframe. Although sometimes viewed as impenetrable, the reality is mainframes are subject to a number of vulnerabilities such as code-based attacks, insider threats, and inadequate authentication measures – to name just a few.

And there’s now an added reason organizations cannot afford to neglect mainframe security. A raft of regulatory requirements soon coming into force - such as DORA - contain stringent security measures to protect sensitive data and ensure operational continuity. As well as leaving the business exposed, failure to address vulnerabilities could result in hefty financial penalties.

In this webinar, brought to you by CIO and Rocket Software, you’ll learn why mainframe security and compliance is such an important area and how to build an effective vulnerability management program.

Mainframe Security: Its Critical Role in Regulatory Compliance
