Vanguard Integrity Professionals Leads in Mainframe Security

In today’s world, attention to online defense has become a top priority for organizations across all industries. With the increasing number of cyberthreats, it’s essential to have well-trained mainframe experts who can provide reliable and efficient security solutions.

Vanguard Integrity Professionals is one of the leading providers of cybersecurity solutions and services designed to meet the ever-changing threats and compliance requirements faced by organizations. Agencies worldwide are introducing more stringent regulations and standards for online defense. Vanguard has been at the forefront, helping businesses and organizations meet all the necessary compliance requirements.

 

With its security solutions leading the industry and a comprehensive training program, Vanguard continuously delivers the knowledge needed to improve any enterprise with the latest techniques, best practices and practical approaches to help better understand the risks involved with having an online presence.

Security Knowledge Gap

Along with the increasing importance of cybersecurity, the mainframe community is also facing the significant challenge of a retiring workforce. As experienced professionals leave the workforce, they take a wealth of knowledge and expertise with them and leave behind a skills gap that can be difficult to fill.  

 

To stay relevant, professionals must keep up with technological changes, which requires a willingness to learn as well as the ability to think critically. By working together, the generation entering the mainframe world can learn from the retiring workforce to help ensure a smooth transition.  

 

The skills gap is an additional reason Vanguard offers a training program, zSecurity University, to teach and support those currently in or entering the mainframe world who want to develop their skills. 

 

Vanguard zSecurity University is delivered through a combination of online and instructor-led courses with portions of the program being self-paced. The instructor-led portion of the program is delivered by cybersecurity professionals with real-world experience that provide valuable insights. 

 

Vanguard zSecurity University is tailored to meet the needs of individuals at any level, whether someone is a novice or an experienced professional.

Vanguard’s Past, Present and Future

Vanguard Integrity Professionals is a renowned name in the cybersecurity industry, with a long history spanning several decades. 

 

The company was founded by Ronn H. Bailey, one of the world’s leading experts in RACF, in 1986, when the need for reliable security solutions was becoming increasingly apparent due to high-profile security incidents.

 

Bailey’s relentless commitment to customer service and passion to make the technical world of mainframe security accessible to end users was instrumental to the success of Vanguard. The company has continued to evolve and operate with excellence to meet the industry’s changing needs, which established Vanguard as one of the world’s leading services and solutions providers for over 30 years. 

 

Today, the company is a leading provider of mainframe security education, professional services and security software for organizations worldwide.  

 

The history of Vanguard Integrity Professionals is a testament to the importance of strong and reliable cybersecurity solutions in the modern age. As the threats facing businesses continue to grow and become more sophisticated, Vanguard remains a trusted partner for those seeking to protect their sensitive data and assets from harm.

 

In 2023, Vanguard Integrity Professionals officially announced its shift to a women-owned business. Women-owned businesses have become increasingly prevalent in recent years and play an important role in economic growth, giving Vanguard the upper hand in the industry. 

 

The future looks promising for Vanguard Integrity Professionals as technology continues to evolve and the demand for online security increases. During its 30-year history, the company has developed a positive reputation for providing high-quality software products that help clients manage their security and compliance needs
