Cleanup vs DB Networks DBN-6300 comparison

CA Cleanup for z/OS (CA Cleanup) reduces the effort and pressure associated with maintaining current regulatory, statutory and audit requirements. It does this by removing obsolete, unused, redundant and excessive access rights through easily automated, virtually unattended and continuous cleanup of mainframe security databases CA ACF2TM, CA Top Secret and IBM RACF.

CA Cleanup Features

CA Cleanup offers the following features:

• Security Policy Management: The software allows administrators to define and manage security policies for mainframe resources. This includes setting rules for user access and password requirements, and defining group-based access controls.

• Access Control: CA Cleanup for z/OS enables granular control over who can access specific mainframe resources. It supports various access control methods, including resource-level security, program authorization, and transaction authorization.

• User Authentication: The software provides robust user authentication mechanisms, such as password-based authentication, RACF pass tickets, digital certificates, and more. It ensures that only authenticated users can access the mainframe system.

• User Provisioning and De-Provisioning: It facilitates the creation and removal of user accounts on the mainframe. Administrators can easily manage user profiles, assign appropriate access privileges, and revoke access when needed.

• Auditing and Reporting: CA Cleanup for z/OS offers extensive auditing capabilities to monitor user activities and track changes made to security settings. It generates comprehensive reports for compliance purposes, including user access reports, audit trail reports, and security violation reports.

• Resource Monitoring and Protection: The software continuously monitors mainframe resources for unauthorized access attempts, suspicious activities, or security breaches. It provides real-time alerts and takes proactive measures to prevent unauthorized access.

• Integration with Mainframe Security Systems: CA Cleanup for z/OS integrates with existing mainframe security systems like IBM RACF (Resource Access Control Facility) to leverage their features and enhance overall security management.

• Compliance Management: The solution helps organizations meet regulatory compliance requirements, such as PCI DSS, HIPAA, and GDPR. It provides tools and reports to demonstrate compliance and supports security audits.

• Customization and Automation: Administrators can customize security policies and settings according to their organization's requirements. The software also supports automation through scripting and APIs for streamlined management.

• Centralized Management: CA Cleanup for z/OS offers a centralized management console or interface for efficient administration of security policies and controls across the mainframe environment.

DB Networks DBN-6300 offers database cycbersecurity that will “shine a light” on your database infrastructure. Through deep protocol analysis the DBN-6300 will provide you new insights along and a situational awareness of your database infrastructure. You'll have real-time database security to immediately identify database attacks and compromised credentials.

Armed with these new insights you are now able to establish a defensive layer for your database infrastructure. You can now confidently take the proper actions necessary to significantly reduce your attack surface and reduce the risk of a data breach.

Operating at the database tier, directly in front of the database servers, the DBN-6300 is in the perfect location to effectively analyze database traffic. It will immediately identify any undocumented databases, identify traffic to/from restricted segments, identify advanced database attacks, and the use of compromised credentials. When rogue SQL statements are present at the database tier it means your perimeter defenses have been breached and your application has also been exploited. The DBN-6300 stands as the final defense in your database defense-in-depth strategy.

The DBN-6300 is easy to set up and can be deployed with no changes to existing applications, databases, or cybersecurity systems.
