Abstract

Quantum-era security risks are prompting enterprises to reassess the role of mainframes across mission-critical digital infrastructure. • Mainframes are not inherently quantum proof, but their hardware security can support enterprise migration towards post quantum cryptography. • HNDL attacks put long-lived sensitive data at risk today, increasing pressure on enterprises to build crypto-agility across infrastructure. • AI is expanding the mainframe’s role from transaction processing to real-time fraud detection, risk analysis and operational intelligence. • Data sovereignty is strengthening demand for greater control over sensitive information across increasingly complex hybrid IT environments. • Mainframes are evolving to work alongside cloud, edge and AI rather than compete with them across increasingly hybrid IT environments.
