z/OS OpenSSH at 6.4p1 is a fully supported by IBM. Your Network Security Team 
is asking you to 'upgrade', but actually they want to have you to upgrade to an 
unsupported open version of OpenSSH [on z/OS].

As Timothy Sipples said, IBM will, if needed, backport the OpenSSH.

Timothy is right about Db2, it is also same with REXX. You get the official 
supported REXX at whatever z/OS level from IBM, but there are many commercial 
and free versions of REXX on other platforms.

So, in other words, the Network Security Team wants to have you to throw away 
official supported OpenSSH? No ways! I would simply refer them to IBM after a 
lot of explanation of course.
