BMC AMI Security protects critical mainframe systems with real-time threat detection, zero-trust access controls, automated compliance, and secure data movement to reduce risk, improve SOC visibility, and lower operational overhead.
Protect critical mainframe systems
Detect mainframe threats in real time
BMC AMI Security continuously monitors IBM z/OS® activity and security events, using real-time analytics and enriched SMF data to detect suspicious behavior and send actionable threat intelligence to enterprise SIEM and SOC teams.
Enforce zero-trust on the mainframe
BMC AMI Security applies zero-trust controls to z/OS with privileged access management, MFA, session monitoring, and micro-segmentation to protect access to critical mainframe systems and resources.
Automate mainframe security compliance
BMC AMI Security continuously monitors z/OS security controls, including RACF, against policies and CIS benchmarks, with real-time compliance alerts and reporting that help teams identify and remediate violations.
Prevent certificate-related outages
BMC AMI Security provides digital certificate management for z/OS, giving teams centralized visibility and control to identify expiring certificates, reduce certificate-related outages, and lower security risk.

Product highlights
Detect and respond to mainframe threats
Detect suspicious activity across z/OS in real time and deliver enriched mainframe security events to enterprise SIEM and SOC workflows for faster investigation and response.
-
Analyze SMF data in real time to detect suspicious activity and emerging threats across z/OS
-
Bullet 2: Monitor RACF, ACF2, and Top Secret activity to identify risky access, privilege changes, and potential account misuse
-
Stream enriched mainframe security events to enterprise SIEM platforms so SOC teams can investigate and respond alongside distributed threats
Enforce zero-trust mainframe access
Protect z/OS access with zero-trust controls that verify users, limit privileges, monitor sessions, and restrict lateral movement across mainframe resources.
-
Control privileged z/OS access with PAM and MFA to verify identities and limit elevated access to authorized users
-
Monitor and record privileged z/OS sessions to detect risky user activity and provide an audit trail for investigation and compliance
-
Apply micro-segmentation to z/OS network traffic to restrict lateral movement and isolate critical mainframe systems and resources
Automate mainframe compliance and reduce risk
Continuously assess z/OS security controls, automate compliance monitoring, and manage digital certificates to reduce security and operational risk.
-
Continuously assess RACF controls against CIS benchmarks and security policies to identify compliance violations in real time
-
Automate z/OS digital certificate management to identify expiring certificates and reduce outages and security risk
-
Generate real-time compliance alerts when z/OS security controls violate policy so teams can investigate and remediate issues faster
