ICEDirect

ICEDirect was developed to answer an additional need created by the evolution in Operational Integrity: Data Visualization. With the requirements
for a ZTA (Zero Trust Architecture) and other information sources it became clear that the traditional reporting methods had enhanced requirements
to share critical information captured and stored by various tools and services. ICEDirect is a highly secure browser interface into the ICE data space
that can easily provide information from its data capture and store it in a format that is both intuitive and visually easy to understand.

ICEDirect also provides analytic capabilities for other z/OS critical data, such IODF configurations, the z/OS Health Checker (all LPARS in a SYSPLEX
in one view), RACF, Certificates management, and LD-IPL. These analytic capabilities allow for an easy method to view, understand, and make the audit legible for non-specialists of these sources.

A mitigation for vulnerabilities in customized versions of z/OS 3.1 is now available in the form of List Directed IPL (LD-IPL) and its two supporting components in Validated Boot and Secure Boot - Available for creation using ICE-Direct and for Inspection using Image Focus.
