Points To Consider To Improve Security Posture Of Enterprises

Image
  For different reasons, those employed in the critical area of cybersecurity are always stressed. The workload is immense since cybersecurity teams are typically understaffed. The very essence of the work is highly demanding as well. In such situations, solving the burnout problem requires companies to work better, not harder. Here are some approaches that businesses can adopt to take the challenges head-on. Understanding The Business The COVID-19 pandemic has shown that companies need to be able to quickly adjust and adapt, whether in response to a crisis, customer needs, or technology. This need for speed puts IT security at the forefront, to the point that cybersecurity is no more a technology problem; it's a business issue. Organizations should make cybersecurity the overall business plan part of. In order to ensure that security is integrated in organizational culture, this means inculcating a security-first mindset. Recognizing The Complexity COVID-19 has establish

Tips To Ensure Cloud ERP Security

Image
  Datasecurity is a critical problem, and business leaders are increasingly called on to help improve cybersecurity and detect threats. When switching from on-premise to cloud ERP, it's essential to note that cloud ERP systems come with adequate security measures. And then, additional security and exposure controls would need to be implemented by corporations. 74 percent of respondents had data protection concerns in a new survey, and 53 percent said they had data privacy issues and data loss problems. Ensuring Cloud ERP Security: Some Proven Strategies A breach of data can impact company activities and have disastrous implications for the company. A few approaches related to cloud ERP data security include the following: Developing A Security And Governance Strategy Involve executives and all workers in building a framework for data governance and determining security standards. Cloud ERP systems integrate enterprise-wide data, so it is likely that several departments ma

ERP Data Security Risk Prevention

  In the past, the US government has warned businesses about the increasing danger of attacks against resource planning systems for businesses. The alert came after a study revealing the prevalent violations of Oracle and SAP systems. Although government agencies and many other industries are especially vulnerable to security outbreaks, smaller businesses and manufacturers are more likely to become victims of breaches. It does not deter companies from searching for ERP solutions, as upsetting as this news is. Organizations would fall behind in our fast-paced marketplace without implementing ERP to automate workflows and serve as a central hub of business data. Our information has never been 100% secure, and vulnerabilities in cyber-attacks often stem more from weak protocols than from the systems themselves. With each protection measure, a business takes, the risk of being hacked decreases dramatically. We address the measures businesses should take to ensure robust ERP data protecti

Getting The Best Out Of SSO And MFA

Image
  Combining a user ID and password to protect our most sensitive information is not good enough anymore. Identity theft, breaches of data, ransomware, and malicious actors mean that information security must change in order to stay ahead of security threats. Effective safety is compulsory for all organizations. The best security strategy must take into account the demands of the organization and the staff, balancing security, encryption, and ease-of-use. There are two key security solutions for many businesses, Single Sign-On (SSO) or Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), to choose from. To decide what's best for the organization, it takes careful consideration of the pros and cons of each approach. There is no reciprocal exclusion between the two mechanisms; both can be leveraged. However, knowing how to devote time and budget to one project over another can make all the difference. Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) MFA uses many distinct factors to verify user identity and gr

Steps To Prevent SAP Cybersecurity Risks

  SAP is one of the leading tech brands worldwide, having a presence on every continent, responsible for developing cutting edge customer relationship management and monitoring software for companies of all kinds. Any security vulnerabilities in SAP products are a big deal because of this. Unfortunately, increasing hacker attacks to SAP applications have been seen in the past few years, leading to in-depth discussions about how they can be protected in the future. SAP: Ushering in a new age of data processing and unknown cyber threats In addition to being a global pioneer in cloud-based computing, the company has forayed into the Internet of Things, along with AI-based machine learning, offering its data processing expertise. Put together, this comprehensive suite of services makes SAP a go-to provider for the IT needs of many modern businesses. This also contributes, however, to a reliance on SAP that can present additional risks. There is a chance of a data breach happening as

Implementing Single Sign-On: Some Challenges

  SSO software can be applied to both the organization’s internal processes, giving employees better access to corporate services and customer-facing platforms, i.e., various applications, portals, or websites provided to customers by the company and requiring registration and login. SSO systems streamline the customer journey, synchronize customer credentials between various systems, ensure a seamless customer experience, unify customer management between e-commerce, CRM, ERP, etc. Challenges with Integration The key technological challenges when a company decides to opt for Single Sign-On are related to the integration of various systems during implementation. This refers both to the design and security of these systems. To facilitate communication between these disparate technologies, any middleware, i.e., a solution that will sit between all these systems and provide them with the Single Sign-On functionality is needed. Unique integrations must be produced for each of the appropria

Understanding The Basics Of Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML)

  Understanding The Basics Of Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) is extensively used in the business landscape these days. It is not well-understood, however, despite its ubiquity, leading to misconceptions, misconfigurations, frustrations, and in certain instances, the utter abandonment of the solution and, consequently, the many benefits it provides. In the security landscape, SAML solves two main objectives. First, information on user authentication is never transmitted by third-party providers or retained by them. Second, users are provided with a Single Sign-On experience irrespective of which service they are logging in to. What Is SAML? SAML stands for Security Assertion Markup Language . It is based on XML. The first half of the name quite accurately explains SAML's intent of allowing one system to claim the identity of a user to another system after checking their identity. At its heart, SAML is a general framework - indepen
