Esther Sultaana - PeerSpot reviewer

Integrated AI-driven mainframe security has strengthened threat detection and simplified audits
Regarding how BMC AMI Security can be improved, I think it is a good question. BMC recently had a model context protocol, which would allow AI assistance to interface with live production workflows. That is a great addition. You also have automated digital certificate management that has come in. They have been keeping an eye on the product since it only came out about six years ago, so when I worked with it, those features were not there. They have improved by keeping abreast of things, and there is an expanded knowledge hub for its capabilities including expert chat features and advanced context-aware analytics, which transitions from basic threshold alerts to behavioral AI models that parse historical patterns. I believe I have covered everything regarding the needed improvements that I know they have done. Those features were not available when BMC AMI Security was released around 2020 or 2021. Knowing about those particular features with mainframes, and given that I worked with mainframes in the past 15 years of my career, those are huge pluses. I think they will continue making developments as the cyber threat world is constantly evolving.
