Vanguard Migration Services (Expanded)

ACF2 & TSS to RACF Made Simple

Database Migration: Compare and Validate Process

This unique Vanguard offering provides results that evaluates the success of the migration, from the original ESM to the targeted new ESM by comparing the results of the migration access. This capability validates and compares appropriate user access and authority to meet regulatory audit requirements for control over provisioning.

 

Typically, auditors want to ensure that correct access is granted to the users and that the resources are valid. This offering is essential to the process of measuring the migration’s success.

UID to Role-Based Conversion

Vanguard has developed a set of unique tools to evaluate the User Identification String (UID), so they can be migrated to Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) that involves setting permissions and privileges to enable access to authorized users in the ACF2 environment.

Types of Vanguard Migration Services:

Database Migration – Compare and Validate Process

  • This unique technology is the preferred method for organizations to manage the over and under provision concerns when migrating from one External Security Manager (ESM) to another.
  • By leveraging Vanguard’s highly experienced technology team in all three ESM’s (RACF, ACF2 & TSS) driplines, target conversion dates are met, and the acceptance of downstream users and critical operational applications are managed with success.

UID to Role-Based conversion

  • Vanguard has developed a set of unique tools that evaluates the UID (User Identification String) so they can be migrated to Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) which involves setting permissions and privileges to enable access to authorized users.
  • Typically, organizations prefer this method as it offers a simple, manageable approach to access management that is less prone to error than assigning permissions to users individually.

DB2 security upgraded to RACF security control

  • Provides an easy-to-use reporting system that integrates with RACF reporting standards for centralized administration that integrates into industry standard Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) technologies.
  • Management, security teams, and internal and external auditors
    can easily view, assess, and manage compliance and measures risk when security is centralized.
Highlights:
  • Efficient Methods for Migrations and Conversions
  • Cost-Effective Options that Match Target Dates for Completion
  • Leverage Security, Audit, and Compliance with Baseline Evaluations
  • Reliable Monitoring that Reduces Risk while Providing a Remediation Roadmap
  • Highly Experienced Team of Security Experts are Leveraged to Ensure Success
