ERP Security for Utility Companies – Onapsis Partners with SNOPUD to Secure Critical SAP ApplicationsCyberattacks on utility companies are increasingly targeting vulnerabilities in SAP applications, posing significant financial and operational risks, with the average cost of a data breach reaching $4.72 million. The energy sector, with its sensitive enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems like SAP, is particularly attractive to cybercriminals. Despite this, many utility companies struggle to allocate adequate resources for security, especially amid ongoing digital transformation efforts. The consequences of such attacks can be severe, leading to business disruptions, power or water outages, and the theft of customer data. To address these challenges, Onapsis, a leader in business application security, has partnered with Snohomish County Public Utility District (SNOPUD) to enhance SAP security through its Connect Up initiative, aimed at upgrading meters across homes and businesses. This collaboration leverages Onapsis' threat intelligence and automated vulnerability remediation to safeguard SNOPUD's critical systems and customer data, supporting a security-first approach as the utility modernizes its operations.
Augmenting Existing SAP Network Security with OnapsisA recent study by Onapsis highlights a 400% rise in ransomware incidents targeting SAP systems, emphasizing the critical need for enhanced security measures to protect these applications. SAP offers various security features, including user authentication, encryption, and monitoring controls like SAProuter. However, if compromised, SAProuter can be an entry point for unauthorized access. Traditional vulnerability management and security monitoring often fall short for SAP systems, leading to a lack of visibility and effective threat detection. Onapsis addresses this gap with its automation capabilities and in-depth threat intelligence from Onapsis Research Labs. Key Solutions offered by Onapsis include Onapsis Assess that supports SAProuter, extending vulnerability management with automated scans and risk-driven analysis. This enables better prioritization and faster response to potential threats without manual intervention. Similarly, Onapsis Defend continuously monitors SAProuter for insider threats and potential compromises. It swiftly detects unauthorized access through targeted alerts and monitors over 2,000 threat indicators, including zero-day threats.
The Onapsis Platform operates independently of SAP systems, ensuring security without compromising performance. It offers visibility into critical SAP systems, helping teams manage security, compliance, and availability issues through advanced analytics, reporting, and automation tools.
