A Modern Approach to Terminal Emulation – How to Prepare for Complex Banking Regulations
Date/Time: 09/30/2025 | 11:00 a.m. CT
Speakers: Kris Lall, Principal Product Manager, Host Connectivity, Barbara Ballard, Principal Product Manager, Host Connectivity
Description:
Banks and other financial services organizations have made significant investments in securing traditional IT environments yet risks to systems of record like the mainframe persist — and new ones are emerging. Compliance regulations are evolving and getting more strict, and threats from cyberattackers are getting more complex, including insider threats like those from fake workers. It’s critical to get a jump on this; the rapidly evolving regulatory landscape and AI adoption are creating new complexities in mainframe security, and the potential costs of an attack or being found non compliant are too high.
In this informative session, Principal Product Managers of Host Connectivity Barbara Ballard and Kris Lall, Rocket Software, will explore:
- Insights into the trends shaping IT security and ongoing green screen access
- Potential gaps between IAM policies and mainframe security
- Best practices to ensure your host access remains secure

How Busy is That Mainframe, Really?
Date/Time: 11/18/2025 | 10:00 a.m. CT
Speakers: Scott Chapman, CIO & Director of Software Design and Development, EPS
Description:
It’s 9:03 AM, do you know how busy your mainframe is? No points for knowing how busy it was on average for the 15 minutes starting at 9:00! Your 15-minute performance intervals may be sufficient for many use cases but are likely insufficient for discovering and diagnosing performance problems that last for just a few minutes or less. In this session, Scott Chapman will discuss the SMF 98 and 99 data that lets you see CPU usage on a sub-minute basis as well as the practical utilization of such data.
