IBM zSystems provides secure, high-performance encryption functions to enable industry-leading data security. Adabas Encryption for z\/OS leverages these cryptographic services through an easy-to-use tool that helps organizations protect entire databases or specific data sets in a streamlined process. Now, you can maintain high-performance databases while boosting security and staying compliant with a growing list of regulations, including HIPAA, SOX, PCI DSS, and GDPR. Using Adabas Encryption for z\/OS alongside Adabas SAF Security simultaneously secures and encrypts your data at rest. Used alongside Encryption for the Entire Network, you can also secure your data in flight. Together, these tools help keep your Adabas systems secure and reliable for years to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-complete-protection\">Complete protection<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To secure and encrypt your data at rest, Adabas Encryption for z\/OS is the perfect partner to Adabas SAF Security. Adabas SAF Security ensures your data is secured with proven, industry-standard security methods used by most IBM z\/OS and compatible sites. You can control system resources by using profiles and connecting directly with external security tools such as IBM RACF\u00ae, CA-ACF2\u00ae, or CA-Top Secret<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>. This single control and audit system for all your resources minimizes administrative efforts so you can focus on the tasks at hand.
