    What is Security Essentials?

    Do you worry whether your mainframe user privileges, configuration, and settings are set appropriately? Are you concerned about insider threats, which could take advantage of subtle, yet important configuration settings, exposing your company to significant risk? If so, MRI has a fast and easy to implement solution for you: the Security Essentials Assessment, available today.

    What information does it analyze?
    As the latest addition to the MRI catalog, Security Essentials is designed to allow you to quickly check your ACF2, TopSecret, and/or RACF configurations and settings against best practices. Security Essentials automates the task of identifying issues which may expose customers to risk through improperly configured user settings. Some of the settings that are checked:

    • System Settings – Key system configuration and settings and parameters
    • Bypass Privileges – Review bypass privileges and flag any which violate security best practices
    • Password Controls – Examine the password controls & requirements, highlight vulnerabilities
    • Unix System Services (USS) – Identify key security related issues related to USS
    • And many more – this just represents some of what this assessment will evaluate.
