### **Mitigating security and compliance risks with Open Source for z/OS**

More organizations that rely on the IBM® zSystems® mainframe are embracing open source software for z/OS to modernize mainframe application development. But unsupported open source can open your organization to security and compliance risks — and you may not know it’s happening.

If your mainframe developers and admins are using unsupported open source languages and tools for z/OS, they aren’t meeting your organization’s security and compliance standards — and that puts your organization and your customers at risk.

### **Close your z/OS open source security gaps**

Focus on growing your business while Rocket Software focuses on keeping your open source for z/OS secure.
