Hey, wait a minute. It looks to me like they're comparing hardware boxes - but surely the OS is the important factor in security? (Well, aside from careful administration.)

But it occurs to me that if they determined this by poll, then their results may be skewed by a) the belief, on the part of mainframers like me, that IBM is best, and b) a reluctance on the part of some corporations to report breaches even in polls that claim they're anonymous. That said, I'm a little surprised that IBM had "fastest mean time to detection (MTTD) from the onset of the attempted attack until the company isolated and shut it down". I know real-time reporting products are out there for mainframes, but I had the impression they're not used much. It's also interesting, given the size of the companies that use mainframes, that they also report "The least amount of monetary losses due to a successful security hack". Although see item b) above again. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Mark Regan Sent: Friday, April 22, 2022 16:40 https://techchannel.com/Enterprise/04/2022/secure-platforms-itic-survey ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
