Onapsis Complete Guide to ERP Security
Protecting the Heart of Your Business
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems from vendors like SAP and Oracle are the operational engine of the modern enterprise. They house the “crown jewels”—the financial data, PII, and intellectual property that are essential for business operations. As the leader in securing these critical systems, Onapsis understands that their value makes them a prime target for cyberattacks. With 64% of ERP systems breached in the last 24 months, securing them has never been more critical.
Why ERP Systems Are a Top Target
A breach of your ERP system can be devastating, leading to significant financial loss, operational disruption, and reputational damage. The average cost of a data breach has now reached $4.45 million, making the protection of these applications a board-level concern. Understanding ERP security is the first step toward building a robust defense against internal and external threats that specifically target these high-value assets.
The Critical ERP Attack Surface
The complexity of ERP systems creates a broad and often overlooked attack surface. Our infographic provides a detailed look at the most common areas of risk that organizations must address:
- Misconfigurations & Missing Patches: Default settings and unpatched vulnerabilities can provide easy entry points for attackers.
- Unsecured Custom Code: Customizations that extend ERP functionality can introduce new, hidden vulnerabilities if not properly secured.
- Excessive User Access: With 40% of organizations citing human error as a top cause of breaches, overly permissive user access and authorizations are a major risk.
- Insecure Interfaces: Connections between your ERP and other internal or third-party applications can be exploited if not properly secured.
