CA Cleanup

Mainframe security databases accumulate obsolete user IDs and entitlement definitions which may be valid but not appropriate for an individual’s role. This creates uncertainty, risk and greater potential for security exposure. It also creates an unnecessary burden for administrators and the system. More so, increasing regulatory, statutory, audit and staffing pressures are bringing new concerns and mandates to address the problem of excessive security entitlements. This is why CA Cleanup is needed.

What is CA Cleanup?
CA Cleanup is easily automated to provide automatic ongoing and comprehensive cleanup of security files. CA Cleanup identifies and removes entitlements and user IDs once un-referenced beyond a specified threshold. In addition, it resolves the ongoing build-up of obsolete and excessive entitlements that accumulate within a security database over time.

What security challenges does it meet?
CA Cleanup can deliver fully automated, continuous and unattended security file cleanup by monitoring security system activity to identify security definitions that are used and unused. It enables quality management of security information to ease administration and improve audit capabilities, hence reducing exposures and enabling clarity and conciseness for security.

What features does it offer?
Using CA Cleanup, you can identify and remove, from individual users, access rights and access groups no longer used, identify access rights being used and create commands to remove those unused, identify user IDs being used and create delete commands for those that aren't, produce reports detailing both used and unused security, and generate commands to enact or restore security cleanup.

What platforms does it support?
CA Cleanup provides easily automated, virtually unattended and continuous cleanup of mainframe security databases CA ACF2, CA Top Secret and IBM RACF.
