Key SAP Security Challenges in Heavy Manufacturing

Protecting Intellectual Property (IP) and R&D Data

Preventing the theft of sensitive product designs, formulas, and proprietary process data stored within SAP. A breach of this IP could lead to significant financial and competitive damage.

Ensuring Production and Supply Chain Uptime

Avoiding disruptions to manufacturing operations caused by an attack on SAP systems. Downtime in the supply chain or on the factory floor can halt production, leading to massive revenue loss.

Securing the IT/OT Convergence

Managing the growing risk from the connection between business systems (IT) like SAP and plant-floor operational technology (OT). These connection points can be exploited by attackers to pivot from IT to OT systems.

Meeting SOX and Industry Safety Regulations

Satisfying auditors and regulatory bodies that require proof of compliance for financial reporting (SOX) as well as industry-specific safety and environmental standards.

Addressing Supplier and Third-Party Risk

Gaining visibility into vulnerabilities introduced by the vast ecosystem of suppliers, vendors, and contractors connecting to your SAP environment, which can create significant security blind spots.

Securing Smart Factory and Cloud Initiatives

Protecting large-scale modernization projects, like the move to a smart factory (Industry 4.0) or migrating SAP to the cloud, without introducing new attack surfaces.

Achieve Operational Resilience and Innovate Securely

Our manufacturing customers use the Onapsis Platform to build a more resilient and agile operation:
