Spring Lake Park, Minnesota, USA - 7 August 2011 - Software Diversified Services now provides VitalSigns Detective software for U.S. enterprises seeking the highest levels of data security, especially for their IBM mainframe machines.

VitalSigns Detective is the new standard for auditing, fraud detection, and real-time security from threats external and internal. The Detective provides complete monitoring of all user interactions with modern and legacy applications.

VitalSigns Detective monitors traffic and users on - z/OS and iSeries - SNA, TCP/IP, and HTTP - 3270 and 5250.

VitalSigns Detective is uniquely suited for compliance with the legal requirements of - Sarbanes-Oxley - Gramm-Leach-Bliley - HIPAA - Basel II and similar security and reporting regulations.

The Detective works silently. It does not consume host-machine resources. Users don't know it's there.

The Detective records every screen displayed, every keystroke made, every message sent. The Detective can replay every detail for trouble diagnosis, response-time analysis, regulatory compliance.

VitalSigns Detective can send immediate alerts when user activity violates the customer-defined business rules. Administrators search the Detective's data for specific time spans, display headings, user IDs, field names, or field values.

Regulatory compliance is a special challenge on legacy mainframe systems. Applications developed ten-plus years ago do not have the controls that more recent regulations require, and modifying those applications is prohibitively expensive.

VitalSigns Detective is a unique and simple solution to that entire problem.

VitalSigns Detective resides on a Windows, Unix, or Linux Server and sniffs network traffic through hubs. It does not require any software installation on host or client. It does not require any change to legacy applications.

SDS, founded in 1982, located near Minneapolis, MN, provides a wide range of z/OS software for network performance monitoring, data security and compression, and client-server applications.
