    Mainframes COBOL and Cyber Risk

    Why MF COBOL Applications Are at Higher Risk Today – A Cyber Perspective

    COBOL applications running on mainframes still power the core systems of banks, insurance firms, and large enterprises.

    But the threat landscape has changed — and many environments haven’t evolved accordingly.

    🔹 Increased exposure via APIs and Open Banking

    🔹 Integration with modern DevOps and CI/CD pipelines

    🔹 Shortage of experienced COBOL professionals

    🔹 Challenges implementing modern controls (Zero Trust, EDR, runtime monitoring)

    The IBM z/OS platform itself is robust and secure —

    but the surrounding ecosystem and digital integrations create new attack surfaces.

    Mainframe cyber resilience is no longer optional. It’s foundational.

    למה אפליקציות

    MF מבוססות COBOL

    נמצאות היום בסיכון גבוה יותר – מזווית סייבר

    קוד COBOL על גבי Mainframe (MF) ממשיך להריץ את מערכות הליבה של בנקים, ביטוח וארגוני אנטרפרייז.

    אבל סביבת האיומים השתנתה – והמערכות לא תמיד.

    🔹 חשיפה גוברת דרך API, אינטגרציות ו-Open Banking

    🔹 חיבור ל-DevOps וכלי CI/CD שלא נולדו לעולמות MF

    🔹 מחסור באנשי COBOL מנוסים

    🔹 קושי בהטמעת בקרות מודרניות (Zero Trust, EDR, Runtime Monitoring)

    ה-IBM z/OS עצמו חזק ומאובטח —

    אבל המעטפת הארגונית והחיבורים לעולם הדיגיטלי הם נקודת הסיכון החדשה.

    Cyber resilience במיינפריים כבר לא אופציה. הוא תנאי יסוד.
