Comprehensive Data Security for Peoplesoft and SAP Application

  There has been a sea change in how employees connect to and interact with the enterprise resources to get things done. The conventional network security model was programmed to connect staff to the data center's services they required. There were very few remote workers at the time and using an operationally complex VPN, they linked back to their home network. With the dramatic, unpredictable changes brought about by the pandemic, most workers now work remotely, and almost all businesses today use multiple public cloud services. Coupled with the security flaws associated with VPNs, these factors mean that the conventional model is no longer reliable. The Zero-Trust Security Model A critical weakness in the usage of remote access VPNs is that once users are authenticated, they are considered trustworthy and given complete access. As a consequence, once a hacker reaches the firewalls of an organization, with little resistance, if any, he/she can travel around the network. John Kind

  If you have been running your infrastructure for years, migrating to the cloud may seem overwhelming. It is hard to give up control and trust your services and data to someone else. It can be a complicated effort to perform a cloud migration, but there are some simple guidelines that you can follow to make the migration process smoother. Decide Which Systems Are Going To Migrate Where You have several options when transitioning to the cloud: On-premise server or database migration to cloud platforms Migrating on-premise applications to the cloud (their cloud equivalent) Purchasing licenses for cloud-based services that offer better features than what you currently have on-premise. Any variation of these choices can also be selected. Your choices could be based on expenditures, features, ease of use, reliability, and availability. Do not forget to include key stakeholders in determining where to migrate. Make sure that you do not sacrifice any features that might have been accessible

  In general, an advanced persistent threat (APT) refers to a prolonged and targeted cyber assault in which attackers gain access to a corporate network for an extended period and remain undetected. Because of their high-value data, APT attacks are typically aimed at organizations in sectors such as national security, manufacturing, and the financial industry. As they secretly take control of the data of your organization, these cybercriminals work hard to remain undetected. Let's look at how you can detect APT if you have one and the steps to tackle it. While your organization may not be of the type that attracts the attention of well-funded and well-organized hacker groups or rogue nation-states, you need to remember that instead of causing network harm, the intruder's primary objective is to steal data. That means an APT can be launched by a malicious outsider or an insider. The last thing these hackers want is for you to discover their presence and kick them out. Signs of a

  While businesses work hard to ensure that their cloud services follow the highest security requirements, when transitioning their applications and infrastructure, they fail to adhere to the same procedures. Companies must adopt a prompt approach to preventing and addressing security oversights during their cloud transition, focusing on enhanced training and technical controls. Only with the right combination of resources and policies can companies and their employees safely transition into the cloud. Hardware-Based Risks When it first entered the corporate lexicon, IT practitioners used the word shadow IT to refer to unauthorized hardware operating in their business setting. Shadow IT has shifted from hardware to software over time. When they were weighed down by the absence of an important function, workers would use their own tools under the radar. Businesses, lacking official guidance or enterprise-grade authentication, were exposed to unknown risks these apps would bring to the
