My comment on this is that no company who is serious about security allows any old PC (Windows or Linux) to connect into their mainframe system. You issue company laptops tightly controlled by the internal IT team and provide normal TN3270 software on those laptops for mainframe access over the encrypted company VPN network only.
Yes, the "extra" laptops inventoried for consultants hired for short-term work and the encrypted VPN network are an additional capital expense, but what's the cost of the risk of a data breach? If I'm a CIO I'll gladly pay the capital expense, and I'll bet the corporate board members would agree (not to mention the @#$%^&* auditors).
