Yes, and works relatively well. The problem is our audit/risk people here want to try to tie commonly known vulnerabilities in the wild identified on windows/unix platforms to specific actions/fixes in the mainframe space. I have not figured out a way to do that. So, while we are in a maintenance cycle, I regularly download/receive the z/OS Security/Integrity ASSIGNS, and then apply those PTF's flagged with SOURCEID SECINT. I show them proof that we've done this, and so far they have been good with that.
