Cloud and AI Security for SAP
Meet the Experts
Key Takeaways
Organizations must plan for AI projects and adoption in SAP systems and data even if they are not in use today.
Deploy technologies that will help support cloud and AI strategy.
Collaborate across organizations to ensure that security strategy for SAP cloud and AI capabilities is effectively managed.
Most SAP customers are now running at least some enterprise systems in the cloud. At the same time, organizations are exploring ways to incorporate AI into their enterprise workloads. This convergence of technologies is hugely important from a security standpoint and raises questions about how organizations are planning on securing their expanding cloud footprints while ensuring that their use of AI is protected. In addition, the expanding use of AI to both protect systems as well as defend against attacks is both complicating, while potentially streamlining, the task of protecting cloud-based systems and AI workloads from attack.
In exploring the factors most responsible for influencing cloud and AI security strategy for SAP systems, the differences between these respondent groups were significant. For example, more than half the leaders reported that their strategies were most impacted by the emergence of AI-enhanced attack techniques targeting ERP and SAP systems. Meanwhile, the
majority group were still focused on tasks like ERP modernization and a demand to standardize security across cloud and hybrid environments. These are factors that are of lesser importance to leaders, reflecting the fact that leaders are more likely to have already addressed these concerns or are on their way to completing modernization plans
This year’s research also explored the owners of SAP cloud and AI security strategy, how risk associated with using AI in SAP-related operations is being managed, and measurable security outcomes achieved through adoption of cloud or AI security capabilities for SAP workloads.
The findings indicate that organizations must start planning for how they will manage security for cloud and AI use in their SAP environments if they are to successfully secure these workloads in the future.
