Security and Compliance for Hundreds of Banking Networks

In our revealing whitepaper, we delve into the Finanz Informatik case study and show how they achieved exceptional control and visibility across hundreds of banking networks in Germany using Infraray BICS. With more than 15,000 branches, 24,000 ATMs and 286,000 endpoints, the centralized network access control (NAC) provided by Infraray BICS was critical to ensuring compliance with stringent national and EU regulations.

The whitepaper details the swift implementation process that prepared Finanz Informatik to roll out the service across Germany, providing real-time endpoint visibility and access control. The benefits are clear: enhanced security, compliance with EU banking regulations, and a scalable service model that provides each bank with independent network oversight while maintaining collective security.

Summary of Key Results

  • Infraray BICS provided centralized control and visibility of over 600,000 network ports across hundreds of banks.

  • The solution enabled rapid detection and mitigation of security threats, ensuring compliance with critical banking regulations.

  • Finanz Informatik's deployment of Infraray BICS demonstrates a scalable, multi-tenant service model that's both effective and cost-effective.

Does Mainframe Security Have an IWS Blind Spot?

The IBM Z Workload Scheduler (IWS) orchestrates business-critical processing at massive scale, yet it rarely appears in mainframe security conversations focused on access control and perimeter defense. Someone with legitimate scheduler access, such as a compromised account, a malicious insider, or a mistaken administrator, can alter or delete scheduling definitions without tripping any alarm, and standard logs record that a change happened without preserving a way to reverse it. In this article, we examine this challenge and present a solution using Beta Systems' IWS/Audit.

The Road to Enterprise Orchestration

Enterprise IT has never been more complex, and automation, in particular, continues to evolve rapidly as we head toward the age of agentic AI. An effective organization must coordinate workloads across on-premises infrastructure, multiple cloud providers, SaaS applications, Kubernetes clusters, APIs, and AI-powered services. In today’s business climate, IT processes can no longer run optimally on a single platform; they must span the entire technology ecosystem. Traditional job scheduling, therefore, is no longer enough in this environment. Instead, IT teams need to look towards a future of Enterprise Orchestration. This new approach coordinates entire business processes across the digital enterprise instead of automating only single tasks. In this article, we explore the evolution of enterprise automation and the road to enterprise orchestration.

DevOps workflow automation is the practice of removing that manual dependency by letting scheduled and event-driven triggers handle builds, tests, deployments, and recovery on their own. Below, we break down what it actually involves, why it matters more in 2026 than it did even two years ago, the tools teams use to implement it, and how to roll it out without breaking what already works.
