LRS IT Solutions Teams with BlackRidge Technology to Further Protect IBM Mainframes From Network and Cyber Threats
Reno, NV and Springfield, IL– (PRWEB) February 08, 2017 -- BlackRidge Technology, a leader in cyber defense, is joining LRS IT Solutions to show mainframe and security architects how to safeguard their companies’ mainframes from the latest network-based cyber-attacks.
Experts from BlackRidge and LRS IT Solutions – a division of Levi, Ray & Shoup, Inc. – will lead a Feb. 23 educational webinar entitled “Protecting Mainframes Against New Network and Cyber Threats.” The presentation will focus on specific TCP/IP network security threats to mainframes and how to address these gaps and provide security teams with visibility for compliance and risk management.
“The ever-increasing network and cyber security threats can affect also your mainframes,” said Mike Miracle, BlackRidge’s Senior Vice President of Marketing and Strategy. “We’re excited to partner with LRS on this webinar to explain how to further secure mainframes in networked and hybrid cloud environments.”
The webinar will focus on new and advanced threats to mainframes’ security, including vulnerabilities from distributed systems or business partners connected to a company’s network, or from compromised internal systems and users.
Mainframe administrators and security architects will learn how BlackRidge Technology can stop cyber-attacks and protect against insider threats at the earliest possible time, on the first packet before network sessions are established. BlackRidge provides the equivalent of secure caller ID for the network that allows only identified and authorized users or devices access to enterprise and cloud systems.
The webinar presenters will be Doug Johnson, Senior Director of Solution Engineering at BlackRidge, and Greg Hetrick, Security Solutions Technical Advisor at LRS.
The webinar will start at 1 p.m. EST / 10 a.m. PST on Feb. 23. Registration is open at http://www.lrsitsolutions.com/Events/Protecting-Mainframes-Against-Threats
