ERP Security 101: 5 Things Every Leader and Organization Should Be Doing to Secure ERP

/in /by

Cyber Tech Talk

ON DEMAND

Traditional cybersecurity investments have focused on defending the perimeter with little attention paid to the application layer. More importantly, those applications enable the most critical business functions of your organization, such as financials, manufacturing, and the supply chain. With SAP as the core technology foundation for many large enterprises, it presents an attractive target for malicious actors. Building from basic security hygiene to advanced concepts, you can play a key role in ensuring that strategic operations and critical processes of your business are protected. Key strategies to maintain compliance and better mitigate risk across your SAP landscape.

In this session you will dive into ERP Security 101, including:

  • How and why it’s imperative to include SAP security in your overall cybersecurity strategy 
  • Fundamental concepts for SAP business-critical application cybersecurity & compliance 
  • Key strategies to maintain compliance and better mitigate risk across your SAP landscape
  • Active and elevated SAP exploitation activity identified by Onapsis Research Labs
  • CISA’s Catalog of Known Exploited Vulnerabilities and the SAP vulnerabilities highlighted as critically important to patch

Network Detection Rule Pack for Onapsis Defend

/in /by

Extend Industry-Leading SAP Threat Intelligence to the Network Layer

Business-critical applications are at higher risk than ever before, as organizations struggle to keep up with unpatched vulnerabilities and threat actors launch sophisticated ERP-focused attacks. The earlier an organization can detect threat activity, the better. Monitoring for ERP threats at the network layer – before they reach the applications –provides significant advantages of foresight and speed. However, this is easier said than done, as most traditional network security products lack the threat intelligence and the rules to deliver real protection. These vendors are not SAP security experts, and any rules they may provide are primarily crowdsourced from user or amateur communities – not experts.

The Network Detection Rule Pack for Onapsis Defend solves this problem, making it easy for organizations to bring Onapsis’s industry-leading SAP threat intelligence into their existing network security technologies. In our vendor-agnostic approach, Onapsis delivers a set of regularly-updated rules that can be imported into any Snort-compatible network security product (e.g., NGFW, WAF, IDS/IPS) deployed by organizations as part of their security architecture.

Identify Critical Threats Before They Reach Your Applications

Get Network-Based SAP Threat Detection from SAP’s Trusted Security Partner

  • Bring Onapsis threat intelligence into your network security technology, augmenting its ability to detect (and potentially stop) network-detectable threats to SAP 
  • Leverage rules and network security features to block malicious traffic from reaching SAP applications

Gain an Even Earlier Warning System for Critical SAP Threats

  • Get alerts for critical attacks before they even reach your SAP applications, allowing for faster response times 
  • Increase your time window for analysis and learn about new attacks and attack vectors

Deploy Across Your Defense-in-Depth Security Stack

Accelerate and Secure Development with Automated Application Security Testing Built for SAP

Challenge

SAP Applications Are Increasingly Appealing Attack Targets for Threat Actors

These highly customizable ERP systems are cornerstones of business and financial operations, containing sensitive, proprietary, and confidential data. With digital transformation projects such as SAP RISE as well as migrations to SAP S/4HANA accelerating, any organization could have multiple application development teams – contractors, systems integrators, and internal – working simultaneously on new custom code to power the business. However, these projects introduce security flaws and elevated risk. Threat actors have taken notice and are more aggressively targeting SAP applications directly.1 The need for secure application development and testing has never been greater. Yet there is a lack of tools that sufficiently support SAP languages, components, and development environments, leading to over-reliance on time-consuming, error-prone manual code reviews.

A leading European technology trading group mitigates SAP Cyber security risks with managed service from 1DigitalTrust

/in /by
Industry: European Technology
Company Size: 900 employees

Customer Success Story

One of Europe’s leading technology trading groups within products and systems for industrial applications has secured its SAP systems all over Europe with an Onapsis cybersecurity solution delivered by 1DigitalTrust as a managed service to avoid expensive downtime to its business. 

With 3,3 billion SEK in yearly turnover and 36 business units in 14 countries, the organisation employs more than 900 people who serve more than 30,000 customers and 400 suppliers. With that customer and supplier base, it is business critical for the company to have a well-functioning and secure SAP system that will not be exposed to cyberattacks. 

Recently, the company saw how one of their competitors was hit by a ransomware attack. The company wanted to ensure that this would not happen to them. 

As a global company, it has its own resources as well as external ones distributed across different locations. That called for a structured approach to prevent security holes in the global SAP system.

“We have been able to reduce our risks significantly with the SAP Cyber security managed service from 1DigitalTrust. The costs have been planned, and we have been able to stay within the budget for mitigating the risks.”

CFO at the Company

Mitigating SAP Risks

To stay secure, 1DigitalTrust has implemented an SAP cybersecurity managed service at the company’s SAP installation. 1DigitalTrust did the installation and delivers security services, as the company does not have dedicated inhouse SAP cybersecurity resources. As a security service partner, 1DigitalTrust continuously monitors the systems. Every month, the company and 1DigitalTrust go through the current risks and plan how to mitigate the risks.  

Known Security Costs

One of the advantages for the company is that they now have experts at hand to help with mitigating all the risks. Furthermore, the company’s costs for ensuring SAP Cyber security are known. Everything concerning the monitoring and related infrastructure is included in the fee and is taken care of by 1DigitalTrust. Time to resolution for any risks has been faster than anticipated. After the initial work to remove all critical risks within the first months, the work is now more operational. When new critical risks occur, which they unfortunately will from time to time, the company has easy access to resources, and risks will be mitigated by 1DigitalTrust as soon as a solution is available.

Solution: Business Critical Cybersecurity from Onapsis

The solution from 1DigitalTrust is based on the Onapsis Platform, which focuses on the unique cyber security challenges of business-critical applications such as SAP and Oracle. Currently, the Onapsis Platform protects business-critical applications and data for over 300 global enterprises, including 20% of the Fortune 100. The Onapsis Platform also delivers timely and impactful threat intelligence to SAP and their customers to help mitigate vulnerabilities.

“We now have a structured process to evaluate and mitigate risks in SAP. That enables us to quickly and efficiently determine when and how to mitigate the risks together with the experts from 1DigitalTrust.”
