Compuware Application Audit Transforms Mainframe Cybersecurity and Compliance
Compuware Corporation has announced the availability of Application Audit , an innovative cybersecurity and compliance solution that dramatically enhances the ability of enterprises to stop insider threats by fully capturing and analysing start-tofinish mainframe application user behaviour .
