BMC Software

Automation and AI solutions for enterprise and mainframe environments

Visit BMC Software

BMC AMI Security is a mainframe security product within the BMC AMI portfolio, designed to help enterprises detect, respond to, and recover from threats on IBM z/OS systems. It addresses the challenge of protecting critical mainframe workloads while maintaining compliance with regulations such as DORA and the NIST Cyber Security Framework, and improving visibility for security operations centers.

The product combines real-time threat detection with AI-driven behavior analytics and automated incident response, alongside zero-trust access controls and automated compliance reporting. Capabilities include immutable cloud vault backup with automated forward recovery, secure data movement, and session monitoring. Integrations are provided through connectors for Venafi, Illumio, and Okta, plus BMC AMI Datastream for streaming security events to enterprise SIEM systems and BMC AMI Command Center for Security as a SIEM for z/OS. BMC AMI Digital Certificate Management handles mainframe certificate operations.

BMC AMI Security is aimed at large enterprises operating mainframe environments, particularly those with security and compliance responsibilities across IBM z/OS. It is available as part of the broader BMC AMI portfolio; the pages do not specify packaging details such as free plans, trials, or seat-based licensing.
