Securing your Mobile Mainframe

IBM is focused on Mobile solutions hosted on IBM z Systems that enable end-to-end security and transactional integrity from the mobile device to the System of Record. This focus includes the following areas:

• Protecting the privacy of sensitive business data and the controlled sharing of information whether internal or external to an enterprise
• Architected services that provide enhanced encryption technologies for mobile applications helping to protect privacy, providing an audit trail, and helping to reduce fraudulent activities

The IBM z13 provides a platform that can host both Systems of Engagement (SoE) and Systems of Record (SoR) with visualization that isolates workloads. This helps ensure the privacy and security of workloads and critical data while maintaining high levels of infrastructure, application, and data availability. Mobile workloads benefit from the enhanced virtualization capabilities of the Crypto Express5S that supports up to 85 LPARs (a 5X improvement over the zEC12). This enables both SoE and SoR to maximize the security of hardware based cryptography helping to ensure the privacy of communications and sensitive data. With the new Crypto Express5S, over 300 functions are accelerated bringing a new level of capability to applications on IBM z Systems.
