SAN FRANCISCO – September 5, 2019 — Oracle OpenWorld 2019 — Onapsis, the leader in business-critical application protection, today announced it will be partnering with ERP Risk Advisors at Oracle OpenWorld 2019 in a joint speaking session and book signing event. The special session will provide the elements needed for successful Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) application controls security best practices to keep business-critical applications protected and compliant.

When designing IT controls for Oracle EBS, both the application and its supporting technology must be addressed. Mike Miller, Senior Security Researcher at Onapsis, and Jeffrey Hare, Founder and CEO at ERP Risk Advisors, will share tips and recommendations for how to use control benchmarks and establish baselines, while ensuring the utmost security and thorough compliance when designing IT controls for Oracle EBS.

The talk will also highlight specific vulnerabilities in Oracle EBS found by the Onapsis Research Labs.

“We are looking forward to these upcoming events in partnership with ERP Risk Advisors,” said Mike Miller, Senior Security Researcher at Onapsis. “ERP systems, such as the Oracle E-Business Suite, present organizations with challenges to keep them secure and compliant, so we hope this speaking session provides businesses with best practices that they can deploy and utilize at their organization.”
