Unlocking the Full Power of PK Encrypt on z/OS: Advanced Capabilities & What’s Next

Tait Hamiel

You rely on PK Encrypt to secure mission-critical data on z/OS—but are you taking full advantage of everything it offers?

This session is tailored for PK Encrypt customers operating in IBM z/OS environments. We’ll walk through advanced capabilities, discuss how PK Encrypt extends encryption across your z/OS infrastructure, and share a glimpse into PKWARE’s roadmap for quantum resilience.

In this session, you’ll discover:

  • Advanced capabilities you already have: See how PK Encrypt delivers persistent, policy-driven encryption across z/OS for data at rest, in motion, and in use—without disrupting legacy workflows.
  • Optimized for z/OS: Learn how to deploy field- and file-level encryption, integrate OpenPGP and X.509 certificates, and align with IBM z/OS keyring and certificate management.
  • Compliance made easy: Understand how PK Encrypt simplifies adherence to PCI DSS, HIPAA, GLBA, and other evolving mandates on the mainframe.
  • Preparing for the future: Get an early look at PKWARE’s post-quantum cryptography roadmap and how z/OS shops can prepare for emerging threats.

This session is ideal for z/OS users who want to elevate their PK Encrypt implementation and ensure long-term data protection across the mainframe.
