SHARE Kansas City 2024
Vanguard Integrity Professionals will go into detail on an architecture and
methodology that will bring to the mainframes the same technologies available on
other platforms for maintenance deployment, reporting, and integrity. This
session will discuss the use of message digests with sufficient significance as
to avoid digest collisions as well as cover the methods to ensure and detect
when changes (desirable or undesirable) are made to system executable programs
so that identification, detection, and response scenarios can be deployed and/or
reported. This session will not cover specific products, specific
implementations, or specific controls; but will instead ensure that the audience
members understands the reasons and rationale behind the requirement to be
current in today’s ever-changing world while recognizing the complexities of
ensuring and validating that the patches applied are the patches that were
delivered into your complex maintenance environment. A proposed architecture of
a methodology to achieve this will be discussed.
