As we close out 2025 and head into the holiday season, this episode of🎙️ #TheModernMainframe podcast felt like the right moment to pause and reflect on where our industry is truly headed. In this conversation, Anthony Anter and Mark Schettenhelm unpack insights from the 2025 BMC #MainframeSurvey that show a platform continuing to evolve at speed, with #DevOps adoption accelerating, AI becoming practical and impactful, and Java firmly established as a first-class citizen. What stood out to me most from the mainframe survey is the confidence organizations have in their ability to modernize while maintaining resilience and scale. If you want a grounded, forward-looking discussion on what these shifts mean for teams and leaders right now, I encourage you to listen to this episode before the year wraps up. https://bit.ly/4qLO0BV

Security isn’t a checkbox — it’s architecture. Unapproved file-sharing apps and outdated MFT platforms quietly introduce real risk. When compliance gaps surface under frameworks like HIPAA or GDPR, the financial and reputational impact can be massive. A better model? Deploy SFTP inside your own cloud environment. Keep data in your tenant. Maintain full audit logs, strong encryption, granular access controls, and native integration across AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud. When file transfer lives inside your infrastructure — not outside of it — compliance becomes operational, not reactive. #ThornTechnologies
