In this episode, VirtualZ Computing co-founders Vince Re and Dustin Froyum explore how enterprises can simplify PCI DSS 4.0 compliance with real-time, no-code data access from the mainframe to Splunk.
PCI DSS 4.0 raises the bar for continuous evidence collection, monitoring, and audit readiness across all systems—including IBM Z. Vince and Dustin unpack how the PropelZ Splunk Log Connector enables mainframe teams to stream z/OS console messages directly into Splunk and JDBC targets (Oracle, SQL Server, PostgreSQL, Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift) without scripting or replication.
You’ll also hear Vince Re, original author of CA Top Secret and one of the early pioneers of enterprise cybersecurity, reflect on the origins of mainframe security, the evolution of audit logging, and his experience validating early U.S. encryption standards.
Key topics:
PCI DSS 4.0: What’s new and why mainframes are now firmly in scope
How PropelZ accelerates evidence collection and compliance workflows
The shift from manual scripts to governed, real-time data streams
Lessons from the early days of cybersecurity and data protection
