Brings contextual AI intelligence and seamless integration of legacy mainframes with hybrid cloud environments for improved data visibility, business agility and operational efficiency
NEW YORK, June 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — 1touch.io, a pioneer in contextual AI data discovery and classification, today announced the launch of its Mainframe Security Posture Management (MSPM) product. This groundbreaking solution uses Contextual AI to deliver unparalleled visibility and accuracy in data discovery and classification across mainframe environments, transforming how businesses manage and protect their most critical data assets. MSPM supports various mainframe data sources, including Virtual Storage Access Method (VSAM) files and Db2 on IBM Z, and will soon expand to IBM Information Management System (IMS) and flat files.
Mainframes handle 68% of the world’s production IT workloads and are used by 71% of Fortune 500 companies, primarily in the banking, insurance, healthcare and government industries. These industries rely on mainframes for their reliability, security and massive processing capabilities. However, they face significant challenges in data security, compliance and governance when integrating into hybrid cloud environments.
Securing and Extending the Enterprise Core with MSPM
1touch.io MSPM addresses these challenges by integrating with all mainframe data sources to continuously monitor and analyze sensitive data. It seamlessly integrates this data with all other enterprise data—structured, unstructured, in motion, at rest, in the cloud, on-premises—creating a single, accurate contextual record for the entire enterprise. As organizations modernize mainframes as part of their hybrid cloud transformations, MSPM ensures that mission-critical information managed by mainframes is integrated into enterprise generative AI and other data-intensive use cases.
“Our Mainframe Security Posture Management (MSPM) solution brings critical innovation to seamlessly integrate core mainframe systems with modern hybrid cloud environments,” said Ashish Gupta, President and CEO of 1touch.io. “1touch.io MSPM not only delivers high accuracy, continuous monitoring and deep contextual insights, but also ensures that mission-critical information managed by mainframes is fully leveraged in enterprise AI and generative AI initiatives. Environments, MSPM improves data visibility, security and compliance This enables organizations to achieve business agility and operational efficiency, enabling data-driven decision-making and digital innovation without disrupting existing systems.
Addressing Mainframe Challenges with Contextual AI
By providing accurate, context-rich insights into mainframe data assets, 1touch.io MSPM significantly improves security, compliance and operational efficiency. The solution brings contextual intelligence and seamless integration to legacy mainframes, enabling improved data visibility, business agility and rapid time to value, setting a new standard in mainframe data management.
“Unlocking the data within mainframes allows risk managers to gain unprecedented control and governance over this core data processing unit, where most critical organizational data is generated,” said Itzhak Assaraf, CTO at 1touch.io. “By providing a single pane of glass, unified policies, and a consistent contextual classification language across the data landscape, 1touch.io improves MSPM security, improves governance, and significantly reduces time to value.”
