We have some mainframe tech kicking around somewhere. There's a group of people think this is a security risk because it's old. There's another group of people who disagree because it's barely networked by modern standards, the market for exploits on these systems (compared to, say, AWS, Windows etc) is small/non-existent, and relatively few people have the skills.
