What’s driving more SAP customers to adopt cloud security solutions? The number one driver for organizations was the “Need to protect access to sensitive and confidential data.,” according to SAPinsider’s Securing the SAP Landscape Against Cyber Threats Benchmark Report.
Tracking and securing data as it moves across an organization’s SAP landscape is a common challenge for SAP customers, particularly organizations undergoing digital transformation. As data transfers between different systems - both SAP and non-SAP systems - some devices may be compliant while others are not. Additionally, each device may be running different types of data protection tools, creating a patchwork of complexity that can make security difficult to manage.
In an environment where every organization has a different approach to security with varying degrees of risk tolerance, the idea of creating a security program with a zero-trust mindset has been gaining wide-ranging adoption.
In this Technology Insight, SAPinsider’s Vice President of Research, Robert Holland, and Hank Schless, Senior Manager, Security Solutions at Lookout, discuss the core values and principles of the zero trust philosophy and framework and explore SAP cloud security strategies.
