Securing the Digital Core: Cybersecurity Challenges and Strategies in SAP ERP Systems

Abstract

The rapid evolution of ERP systems has made cybersecurity a critical priority for modern organizations. The integration of cloud technologies and remote work solutions has created new vulnerabilities, necessitating sophisticated defense mechanisms. A multi-layered security framework incorporating technical controls, governance processes, and AI-powered monitoring solutions offers robust protection for SAP ERP environments. Through systematic implementation of advanced security measures, organizations can effectively detect and remediate threats while maintaining operational efficiency. The combination of automated security protocols, behavioral analytics, and machine learning capabilities enables proactive threat detection and response, significantly enhancing the overall security posture of ERP deployments.
