I.C.U. ... MVS(TM) security analysis from JANUS.

STAMFORD, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 14, 1995--If you're not sure about your Information System's security, you are not alone. The media daily reports penetration, alteration and theft of sensitive information from some of the "most secure" data centers. One working solution is I.C.U. ... MVS(TM) (Integrity Concerns Uncovered), a pro-active, MVS vulnerability identification program from JANUS Software that has passed "real life," long term tests at major organizations.

Working in a RACF (IBM), ACF 2 or Top Secret (Computer Associates) environment, I.C.U. ... MVS (Enhance), Release 2.0, is the only available utility that examines and analyzes the vulnerability of mainframe computing operations. It scans various libraries and databases to detect security exposures.

I.C.U. ... MVS, is a Time Share Option (TSO) application that, with a few keystrokes, provides the ability of reviewing specific UserID access to four crucial areas; MVS System Information, Key System Libraries, DASD Vulnerability and User and System Databases.

Patricia A.P. Fisher, President of JANUS, and an international authority on computer security and contingency planning, reports that, "Today's MVS data centers contain thousands of datasets needed in daily operations. Reviewing the security of each of these is a never ending task. Therefore, data center security has usually been restricted to reviewing only mission critical datasets."

Fisher added, "this means, in most instances, well over one half of the datasets are never reviewed for security exposure. Further complicating this issue is that most analytical tools do not review the access control program or applications data. Developed after analysis of hundreds of mainframe computer security operations, I.C.U. ... MVS reviews all datasets and programs available to users, and reports in a variety of formats. No more non-reviewed datasets."

I.C.U. ... MVS (Enhance), Release 2.0, is offered on a North American licensing basis, starting with single site mainframe, RACF/TOP Secret/ACF 2 environment Group 40 or more from $25,500, training provided. Smaller systems, Corporate Wide and Corporate Internal Traveling licenses are available, with pricing upon request. A 15% Annual Maintenance Fee includes all upgrades.

JANUS is a "teammate" of the SAIC (Science Applications International Corp.), which, in July, was awarded a mega-million contract by the U.S. Defense Information Systems Agency.
