Enhancing Security and Efficiency: Exploring the Benefits of DevSecOps Integration in SAP Environment
ON DEMAND
What is DevSecOps? It is the process of implementing security best practices within the application development lifecycle. As digital transformation projects accelerated work schedules on new code and applications, security frequently fell to the wayside in favor of business application output. With the average SAP system having well over 2 million lines of custom code, large global enterprises are growing more concerned about how vulnerable their critical applications may be. Join this webinar to get a better understanding of why you, too, should consider incorporating your SAP application development into a broader DevSecOps framework and some best practices on how to get started in your SAP development.
Unlocking the Security Potential of Your ERP Landscape: Discover the Five Essential Reasons for Integrating Your ERP Applications into Your Vulnerability Management Program
ON DEMAND
Frequently thought of as a “black box” for many reasons, SAP and Oracle application landscapes present challenges for modern day security professionals, which has frequently led to a policy of layered security around the critical systems that matter most. However, neglecting to include these ERP applications as part of your vulnerability management program leaves your organization more open than ever before to potential security breaches and data loss. In this webinar, let Onapsis provide you with five compelling reasons why it’s time to crack open that black box and better integrate SAP and Oracle applications into your overall vulnerability management strategy.
Utility companies, whether they are responsible for the delivery of electricity, gas, or water, need to focus on ensuring reliability, resiliency, and maintaining security for systems and data.
Exploring the Evolving Landscape of ERP Digital Transformation and Strategies to Mitigate Security Risks
ON DEMAND
As global organizations fully embrace cloud and digital transformation projects in the enterprise, under-resourced teams frequently focus on agility and velocity over security. This webinar will discuss the current trends shaping ERP digital transformation and the broader challenges in securing these business-critical systems. This session will draw from Onapsis’ experiences in securing the world’s leading brands over the past 10+ years to discuss major security challenges and threats brought on by digital transformation, leveraging insights and real-world examples to illustrate the topic.
For industrial chemical companies, the impact of a successful cyber attack on their critical ERP, production and supply chain, or customer portals could be devastating.
Cyberattacks targeting the systems that support critical operations such as R&D, financials, and manufacturing are growing in number and severity with the primary goal being industrial espionage. Further, these attacks create business disruptions that potentially cripple operations due to interconnectivity of critical systems. As a result, most nations have designated the chemicals industry to be critical infrastructure. Under this growing threat of targeted cyber attacks, the chemical industry is challenged to protect these critical systems and ensure the quality and delivery of their products in the face of regulatory oversight and the threat of compliance audits.

Key Risk Factors
Increasing ERP System Attacks
Cyber attacks targeting chemical companies are on the rise. Successful attacks on critical ERP systems can be particularly devastating with wide-ranging and significant business impact due to greater interconnectivity up and down the value chain.
Digitization and Interconnectivity
The focus on streamlining operations and creating more efficient processes is transforming supply chains into more localized, digitized, and interconnected systems. This makes chemical companies more agile and able to respond to supply and demand changes. However, this deeper interconnection greatly increases potential unmonitored risks.
Critical Infrastructure Regulations
Chemical companies, designated as critical infrastructure, are classified as high-risk and subject to strict governmental regulations. Failing to comply with audit regulations can result in significant financial impacts to the organization including fines as well as suspension of production.
Key Challenges
Limited Visibility for Security
Chemical companies have ERP applications and assets distributed across a complex and interconnected landscape (IT and OT). This means full visibility of the attack surface is difficult as is mitigating risk to the systems that support connected supply chains, production, and externally exposed applications.
Secure Digital Transformation
Digitization projects streamline operations and increase efficiencies, but they can favor expediency over security. Monitoring critical systems and ensuring that SAP code is developed securely when architecting new applications that affect the supply-chain is critical.
Security Controls for Compliance
Regulatory compliance generally requires a large number of time-consuming, manual, and repetitive tasks to collect data. Identifying unmonitored or vulnerable ERP assets and automating these processes greatly accelerates audit preparation and helps avoid violations.

Enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems, like SAP and Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS), are the operational engine of many organizations—running business-critical applications and holding the sensitive data needed for businesses to function.
ERP Systems Are Complex, but ERP Security Doesn’t Have to be Complicated
ON DEMAND
Businesses use enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems, like SAP, to keep their critical business assets, data and IP in one place. While ERP systems unify platforms and departments, centralizing large enterprise data presents an attractive target for malicious actors. An interconnected system combined with inadequate ERP security increases the risk of attacks and makes ERP systems a prime target for adversaries.
To shed light on the state of ERP security in 2023, we have analyzed and observed threats and attacks targeting ERP applications. Learn about the state of ERP Security, strategies to maintain compliance, and how to better mitigate risk across your SAP landscape.
This session covers:

Cyber attacks are targeting ERP applications within the oil and gas industry. These attacks can have financial and reputational impact and result in outages causing great human costs. They can disrupt oil and gas production, refinement, transportation, and delivery and put customer personally identifiable information (PII) at risk. Oil and gas companies need to protect against these attacks while modernizing their systems and complying with an ever increasing number of government regulations.
