Modern SAP enterprises can sometimes be a complex mixing pot of different solutions, systems and operations. Not only is a modern enterprise buried under a pile of new hardware and software, but it can also all be spread across different platforms, whether on-premises, in the cloud or a hybrid of both.
Managing a large, modern selection of new systems can be difficult if there isn’t a tool to track all business assets. Complexity may grow, as organizations realize that all the SAP-connected IoT devices also need to be protected. Thankfully a tool like digital infrastructure problem-solver, Splunk’s Asset and Risk Intelligence, or ARI, can help track and secure all business assets.
Typically, most asset management tools will provide some kind of insight into the devices and the people that use them, but the data gained from the process can sometimes be inaccurate or outdated. A tool like Splunk’s Asset and Risk Intelligence can continuously discover assets and identify any compliance and regulation violation, helping to plug any gaps found within your SAP security controls. This can, in turn, allow security teams to address issues much more quickly, and with more effectiveness with up-to-date asset data.
Splunk’s Asset and Risk Intelligence can track an inventory of assets and identities by correlating data from multiple, different sources like networks, endpoints, cloud engineering and scanning tools. Precise insights are integral in reducing risk exposure and removing potential cybersecurity blind spots and Splunk’s ARI can find patterns from the data gathered, collating it all into a single, reconciled view of all the information.
Ultimately, when developing processes and business models within an SAP-enhanced environment, a host of different systems and software need to be tracked, maintained and protected. By using Splunk’s Asset and Risk Intelligence tool, SAP users can gain comprehensive visibility into business assets and keep their connected IoT devices secure from attack.
