History/Mission

We understand the complexities of  z/OS security.

KRI was founded in 1988 on the principles of Integrity, Accountability, and Communication. We began by providing mainframe security consulting services to Fortune 500 institutions focusing on mainframe security configuration and compliance audits. In 1998 we began doing ESM migrations, focused on RACF and CA ACF2, using a set of in-house written software tools to provide seamless migrations from one ESM to another, merging security databases, and migrating native DB2 security to RACF.

In 2007 KRI began providing comprehensive z/OS environment code-based and configuration-based vulnerability assessments. The z/Assure® Vulnerability Analysis Program™ (VAP) software product was launched in 2009 and the z/Assure Compliance Assessment Manager™ (CAM) product was launched in 2014.

Our mission is to guarantee a return on our clients’ security investments by minimizing their exposure to data and integrity security risks.

As a global leader in the mainframe security industry, KRI appreciates the complexities of the information security business and we bring this knowledge, our multinational influence, as well as our global reach to the table when working with our clients, allowing us to protect, detect, and respond to our clients’ security needs on a 24/7-hour basis. We are widely known for our vulnerability detection technology – both configuration and code based and this sets us apart from the competition.
