What does CPW do?
CPW is a security tool for z/VSE systems that enforces password rules before external security products are invoked. It allows organizations to customize and strengthen password policies to protect sensitive data and systems.
Is this a system, application, or tool?
CPW is a security tool designed to enhance password management on z/VSE systems. It is not a complete security system but rather a component that integrates with existing security products.
What types of organizations use this?
Organizations that rely on z/VSE systems, particularly those in industries with strict compliance requirements, benefit from CPW. This includes businesses of all sizes that need to enforce strong password policies.
When should we consider CPW?
A company should consider CPW when they need to enforce custom password rules on their z/VSE systems beyond what is provided by standard security products. This is especially important when facing increasing security threats or compliance mandates.
What are the alternatives to CPW?
Alternatives to CPW include other security products that offer password management features for z/VSE, or implementing custom solutions using z/VSE's built-in security features. However, CPW provides a dedicated and customizable solution.
