Managing ERP Systems Like SAP ECC And PeopleSoft Can Be Challenging
Managing user authentication, role provisioning, ensuring policy enforcement, and working with audit teams can lead many administrators to feel they lack the control and visibility required to effectively manage their systems.
However, with the right tools and technology, setting up a strong security and compliance framework can be achieved.
Challenges In The Modern Business Environment
Mobile access to ERP systems means data security risks can originate from both inside and outside your secure network. ERP systems only offer access controls that are static and roles based. Meaning, the context of access does not dictate what someone can view. Thus, aligning a security posture around best practices like least privilege and zero-trust becomes impossible. Native ERP logging features only offer high levels of visibility. These features do not provide granular access information that can be used for threat prevention, remediation or compliance audits.
How Appsian Can Help
Appsian enables you to strike the perfect balance between data security and user productivity. Integrate stepped-up, fine-grained security (ex. MFA, masking, click-to-view) and strengthen access controls that leverage contextual attributes. With real-time data access monitoring, you are better equipped to detect and respond to security incidents.
Enhanced logging capabilities enable you to track all access attempts, so you can take precautions wherever required.
