Using Multifactor Authentication to Authorize Mainframe Access
Rocket’s MFA solutions extend strong authentication, including smart cards and tokens, to mainframe environments, integrating with major security managers like IBM RACF, CA ACF/2, and CA TopSecret. This reduces help desk costs, improves login security, and supports flexible deployment across users and applications. Additionally, Rocket’s MFA integrates with their terminal emulators, providing policy-driven multi-factor prompts during sign-on for enhanced protection. In summary, Rocket Software’s MFA offerings provide a secure, scalable, and user-friendly way to protect mainframe access, enabling organizations to comply with modern security mandates while maintaining operational efficiency and user convenience.
