SAE allows access to z/OS systems even when the main OS is unavailable, making it ideal for recovery, diagnostics, and maintenance.
Compliance Reporting
The Control Editor provides comprehensive reporting capabilities, allowing administrators to track and audit access permissions. This feature aids in compliance with regulatory requirements by providing detailed insights into access control activities.
Policy Enforcement
It enforces access policies consistently across the mainframe environment, ensuring that users only have access to the resources necessary for their roles, thereby reducing the risk of overprivilege.
Granular Access Control
The Control Editor enables administrators to define precise user-resource relationships and access policies, allowing for granular control over who can access specific resources on the mainframe.
TCE enables compliance with Zero Trust standards on the Mainframe
Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA), as defined by NIST SP 800-207, aim to ensure precise access decisions in compromised network environments. ZTA is a cybersecurity plan utilizing ZT concepts, encompassing component relationships, workflow planning, and access policies. Mainframe ZTA addresses weaknesses by focusing on granular user-resource relationships and bypassing perimeter security. NewEra Software’s Control Editor aligns with ZT standards, resolving these weaknesses as per NIST 800.
