Mainframes are tasked with supporting not only the billions of banking and retail transactions that occur daily, but also managing the production workloads of government entities, healthcare conglomerates, transportation industries, and more.
Mainframe architecture is some of the most reliable tech heavily in operation today, able to manage incredibly large input/output volumes with low risk of downtime and there are few signs of it being sunset in the decades to come. As protectors of the cyber landscape, understanding how to secure mainframe architecture will remain important for any business entity that touches upon this behemoth technology.
