Mase

The architecture of Mase comprises several key components designed to provide comprehensive security assessments for z/OS environments. The Mase engine is the core component, responsible for performing security checks against system configurations and RACF settings. The configuration manager handles the management of security policies, scan parameters, and reporting options, which are defined in configuration files.

The reporting module generates detailed reports based on the security checks, providing insights into vulnerabilities and compliance status. The API interface allows for integration with other z/OS tools and applications, enabling programmatic access to Mase's functionality. Communication between components is primarily internal, with the engine, configuration manager, and reporting module interacting to perform security assessments and generate reports.

Mase utilizes z/OS security features for authentication and access control. The tool's architecture is designed for scalability and efficient security assessments.
