You’re Compliant. You’re Still Compromised

Project and Program: Service Delivery, Security and Compliance

Tags: Proceedings, 2026, SHARE Pittsburgh 2026

“I met every compliance requirement, and still got hacked.” This reality highlights a growing gap between compliance and effective security. While compliance frameworks validate controls at a point in time, they often fail to detect active threats or evolving attack behavior. This session breaks down the differences between compliance and continuous security monitoring on the mainframe. We will examine where compliance provides value, where it falls short, and how organizations can close the gap. Attendees will learn how to shift from a checklist-driven approach to a strategy focused on real-time visibility, threat detection, and response. The session will also explore how to align compliance efforts with security operations to improve both audit readiness and overall protection. If success is measured only by passing audits, critical risks may go unnoticed.
