Authentication and authorization. It is a security manager, so it has to validate all accounts that use the mainframe. In terms of authorization, it controls what access those accounts have with the two resources on the mainframe. That's the primary function of the product.

Information Security Engineer at a financial services firm with 1,001-5,000 employees

We make use of almost all the features of Top Secret:

  • Authentication
  • Authorization checks
  • Reporting on violations
  • Audit reporting

We have implemented two-factor authentication, which is a new piece of CA Top Secret. I think that those are the key areas.

HFS SEC is the most valuable feature for us because it's managed consistently as other resources are managed. It uses standard resource names instead of bit settings.

Manager of Operations Security at a financial services firm with 1,001-5,000 employees

I find the ease of installation and the ease of understanding and reporting on the product is excellent. We are always debugging things. The reporting is everything to me as far as being able to respond quickly to either in-house concern, client concerns, or auditor's concerns, or management for that matter.

Being in risk and security, the biggest thing is the ability to adapt because right now we’re changing to model IDs. We work with HR to build out a system for personnel to be matched with levels of access to information.

All the features that we use are valuable. I cannot think of any special feature that is more valuable than other, especially as there are not many features that you can optionally use.
