Securing The Core
Protecting the world's critical mainframe infrastructure.
About Us
Mainframe.life is a premier cybersecurity initiative led by Michael Rooney, a veteran of the mainframe industry. Since 1986, Michael has dedicated his career to supporting and engineering the IBM mainframe environment for several major corporations. This deep, hands-on experience provides an unparalleled understanding of the architecture, intricacies, and critical importance of these powerful systems.
Our mission is born from this expertise: to ensure that the mainframe systems powering various industries and government entities remain as secure as possible against modern threats. We believe in proactive defense and ethical, responsible disclosure to fortify the digital bedrock of the global economy.
Our Services
Ethical Vulnerability Research
We proactively identify and analyze security vulnerabilities within z/OS and related mainframe software. Our goal is to find weaknesses before malicious actors do.
Mainframe Penetration Testing
Simulating real-world cyberattacks, we provide comprehensive penetration testing services to assess the security posture of your mainframe environment and identify exploitable pathways.
Security & Compliance Audits
We help your organization meet and exceed industry and government compliance standards, ensuring your most critical data is protected according to regulatory requirements.
Our Philosophy
We operate on a simple but critical principle: responsible disclosure. The mainframe is too important to be a black box. Our work is dedicated to strengthening the platform for everyone.
Any security vulnerabilities we uncover related to IBM's hardware or software are reported directly and confidentially to IBM. We partner with vendors and clients to ensure that weaknesses are remediated, not just exposed. This collaborative approach makes the entire ecosystem safer.
