Mainframe Security Best Practices for Cybersecurity Awareness Month
Mainframes power mission-critical operations across financial services, healthcare, and government—yet they're not immune to modern cyber threats. Organizations must prioritize encryption, strengthen access controls, and implement real-time monitoring. This Cybersecurity Awareness Month, discover five essential best practices that can protect your most sensitive data and prevent costly breaches.

The Hidden Compliance Risks: Why Your Mainframe Can’t Hide in the Shadows Anymore
Mainframes secure 80% of corporate data and process 90% of credit card transactions, yet nearly 20% of businesses have no formal policies to protect them. With the global average breach cost hitting $4.88 million and regulators demanding the same real-time monitoring and automated reporting from mainframes as they do from cloud platforms, this disconnect has become one of the most dangerous compliance blind spots in enterprise IT.
Eliminating FTP Vulnerabilities
Data breaches cost organizations $4.45 million per incident in 2024, with many stemming from unsecure FTP protocols that transmit sensitive data in plain text. VitalSigns for Secure Transfer (VST) eliminates FTP vulnerabilities without requiring changes to JCL, batch jobs, or application code—delivering enterprise-grade encryption and compliance while your teams continue using familiar processes.

SDS Launches VitalSigns for Secure Transfer (VST): Drop-In Security Solution Eliminates FTP Vulnerabilities Without Business Disruption
Software Diversified Services today announced VitalSigns for Secure Transfer (VST), a breakthrough solution that automatically converts FTP to encrypted SFTP without requiring any batch JCL modifications or business logic changes. Organizations can now achieve full regulatory compliance with SOX, GDPR, PCI DSS, and HIPAA in days rather than months while existing mainframe workflows continue running unchanged.

7 Critical Mainframe Security Blind Spots That are Costing Banks Money in 2025
Despite mainframes processing $10.4 trillion in U.S. credit and debit card transactions annually, most banks treat them as security islands invisible to modern monitoring platforms—a gap that contributes to the $4.88 million average breach cost. From unmonitored ESM administrative access to invisible CICS transactions and the inability to correlate mainframe events with network threats, these seven critical blind spots leave financial institutions vulnerable to fraud, insider threats, and multi-million dollar compliance failures.
