Early Threat Detection with FortiDeceptor – The Key for keeping Enterprise Software Secure
Key Takeaways
⇨ As enterprises continue to grow and become more technically intricate, cyber defense systems need to be revisited and readjusted to adapt to modern threats.
⇨ The best cyber security providers will have a proactive approach to security, rather than a reactive one.
⇨ FortiDeceptor, a proactive security solution from Fortinet, can provide early detection and isolation of cyber-attacks, and also trick attackers into revealing themselves.
Cloud-based SAP platforms have inherent protection built in. However, as enterprises continue to grow and become more technically intricate, cyber defense systems need to be revisited and readjusted to adapt to modern threats.
The best cyber security providers will have a proactive approach to security, rather than a reactive one. For example, cybersecurity firm, Fortinet, adheres to the proactive security approach with FortiDeceptor, a solution that can provide early detection and isolation of cyber-attacks, and also trick attackers into revealing themselves. Through Fortinet’s security operations center, users can monitor each element of the SAP infrastructure, making it easier to identify any issues as they happen in real time.
Some SAP-reliant systems will have access to a massive repository of user or client data. It is imperative to make sure this data cannot fall into the wrong hands. Intrusion-based detection, combined with contextual, real-time intelligence, can help defend against stolen credential usage, lateral movement, man-in-the-middle attacks, and ransomware. As part of the Fortinet SecOps Platform, FortiDeceptor can work towards preventative security measures through the use of decoys.
The most effective SAP security measures can trick attackers into revealing themselves by interacting with a wide selection of deception assets that would have been distributed throughout an organization’s digital environment. The decoys from FortiDeceptor can mimic different IT, Operational Technology (OT), Industrial Control System (ICS), and IoT devices, as well as large and expansive applications like SAP and its enterprise software.
FortiDeceptor’s simulated SAP landscape can automatically deploy SAP-specific assets to trick a hacker into revealing its presence. This deception network has been designed to integrate with existing SAP infrastructure, making it easier to lure both internal and external threats.
Even if a hacker has somehow managed to worm the way into an SAP network, FortiDeceptor can detect any attempt at fake file encryption by isolating the compromised endpoint, preventing any further communication with a Control and Control server.
With FortiDeceptor, cybersecurity teams can follow all the steps attackers take to attack the internal SAP environment. In addition to that, FortiDeceptor provides additional details like a traffic capture for further analysis, mitigation recommendations, and an attack timeline, which offers clear and detailed insights into tactics, techniques, and procedures used by the attacker.
FortiDeceptor offers ease of deployment with minimal maintenance footprint and it is an agentless, passive solution that does not require any high network topology changes. With an early attack detection and high-fidelity alert system, FortiDeceptor offers an automated mitigation response.
Proactive security measures will combat emerging threats while addressing any vulnerabilities. With SAP environments expanding with each new operational update, it makes it trickier to effectively protect all systems. By taking a proactive approach and seeking out security measures that can adapt to the ever-changing SAP environment, firms can take a step towards a safer and more secure digital workspace.
