That's one response I can agree with !
I didn't want to drag myself into this, I also have been working for outsourcers, who's customers were very large banks, insurance companies, worked for a very large defense contractor, state Government, and now back in one of the largest health care insurance companies in the US, and I know there are all security standards for each, some follow the same base security standards and some have a higher level of standards , they are not all perfect. one thing I've not head is someone quoting any standards by name, for security and auditing, HITRUST is one of our standard, some standards we adopted over the years because we learned where our security holes where. I think we can argue till the cows come home about who's more secure, I know by fact, our Micro team is up very early in the AM 3-4 times a week applying security patches by the hundreds in the windows world, maybe I'm a little lax but I don't see us doing this in the Z environment so often. we use tools to monitor and report TSS security issues, a standard tool called QRADAR, it also is not perfect, but it allows the security team some insight as to what security issues we all have in the enterprise, Winders, AIX, Linux and Z.
