In recent 451 Research studies, enterprises continue to report three primary security concerns. These challenges affect overall cybersecurity strategies as well as an organization’s business-critical application security:

• The maintenance of security hygiene is not just an ongoing issue for security and IT teams. It has become a front-and-center concern for businesses worldwide. Some of the world’s most high-profile security incidents of recent months are traceable back to keeping enterprise IT - and the applications on which global business depends - well maintained and secure. This highlights the need for continuous monitoring, update and maintenance of systems such as ERP.
• A resurgence of compliance concerns has also risen to the fore. Ongoing requirements such as SOX continue to demand enterprise attention, while more recent mandates such as GDRP require new vigilance and highlight the importance of automating compliance and audit reporting.
• The behavior of people has become one of business’s top security priorities, reflecting the impact of everything from insider threats to phishing attacks, account takeover and credential compromise. These threats can have high impact on the business when they target enterprise application systems the business relies on as its lifeline to critical operations – or when enterprises leave themselves exposed through gaps or drift in effective management of configuration and access control.

ERP applications are among the most valuable assets organizations have and require specialized attention specific to their requirements to protect the business against these concerns. Join this webcast to hear from Scott Crawford, Research Director for Information Security with 451 Research, and Onapsis on how you can combat these common security challenges and ensure that the business-critical applications that house an organization’s crown jewels stay secure.
