Mainframes keep the world running: financial transactions, healthcare systems, government programs. As we mark Cybersecurity Awareness Month, protecting these mission-critical platforms has never mattered more.

Hybrid architecture, APIs and cloud integrations are expanding the mainframe attack surface. Meanwhile, IBM reports breaches still take an average of 241 days to identify and contain. No single tool is enough.

Our new blog breaks down the five layers of a strong mainframe defense:

1. Identity & Access Management
2. Security Monitoring & Threat Detection
3. Data Protection & Encryption
4. Compliance & Risk Management
5. Disaster Recovery & Business Continuity

Which one is your weakest? For more than 30 years, FNTS has kept mainframes secure and resilient. As an Platinum Partner, we help organizations reduce vulnerabilities, strengthen compliance and recover quickly, without disrupting the operations the mainframe was built to support.

🚀 A great week of connections, collaboration, and conversations in Austin.

FNTS was proud to attend both DIR Discover and DIR Connect, where Megan Bettenhausen and Mike Miranda connected with public sector leaders, healthcare organizations, agencies, and partners from across Texas.

Throughout the week, we had valuable conversations about helping organizations maximize their technology investments, improve resiliency, modernize critical systems, and reduce costs.

A special thank you to our DIR partner, ImmixGroup, and Ben Goldston for a great week of collaboration and meaningful discussions.
We appreciate everyone who stopped by to connect and look forward to continuing the conversations ahead.

Texas, we'll be back. 🤠

October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month. This year's theme, Securing the Next 250, lands as America turns 250, and it's a call to protect the systems the country runs on for the next 250.

Four habits still stop most attacks: strong passwords, multifactor authentication, spotting phishing, and keeping software updated.

From government and healthcare to banking, FNTS helps secure the systems organizations depend on most. https://bit.ly/4hDeaW4
