In Part 1 we discussed the basic requirement for your cryptography journey. We are now going to focus on the constructs of running off-host Hardware Security Modules (HSMs) vs on-host HSMs vs Software HSMs. It’s a 3-way comparison and some of the considerations when taking...
A lot has been said about cryptography, the algorithms that support it and the mechanisms to deliver data securely without any compromises. This becomes a far reaching exercise when financial transactions require the best form of security to ensure data cannot be compromised....
There is no clear winner here so one has to determine the workloads and configurations needed in order to determine hosting requirements. The only issue is with z/OS where you are bound by rules that govern the platform. So if you have COBOL applications, you...
In running these tests we have common disk technology, common workloads and common databases. We used Katalon to run scripts with workloads that are identical. So we believe the myth is busted. You must ensure you have a detailed understanding of your I/O sub-system...
Come chat to us on how we can enhance your security framework on a mainframe. Mainframe security has advanced so myth not busted....
You have to take a different approach where COBOL acts as the mothership, flagged by intermediate to smaller ships focussing on specifics....
In our experiences, we have found that the investment needed to refactor, reimagine or reinvigorate is far cheaper than trying to replace the system fully. As an example, a core banking system replacement will cost north of R2Billion, whereas only around R200Million is required...
This is the question that is causing much debate in the corporate world today. In my experience over the last 34 years in the corporate world and the previous two in my own business, I have to say that culture does top strategy every...
This is the next phase of growth for Hassem Prag to be able to create software products for improving the lives of people in way that allows them to grow their own businesses....
Incremental scaled agile delivery with outcomes being visible all the time....
