About

Compliance Event Manager continuously monitors your mainframe environment for a wide range of security-related events. When Compliance Event Manager detects these events, it can take one or multiple actions, including real-time alerting and logging, to notify stakeholders of potential security threats. Compliance Event Manager processes and collects information about events from your External Security Manager (ESM) and seamlessly monitors security records, security configuration points, system data sets, and z/OS configuration controls. The product provides immediate notifications of pertinent violations, access, and change activities to critical resources. Compliance Event Manager’s monitoring also spans Partitioned Data Set (PDS) monitoring, which alerts to changes in critical mainframe configuration files that would otherwise be undetectable, thus alerting to potential insider–threat behaviors. The product also generates advanced audit and compliance information that is not available in standard security reports.
