Getting Ready for the SEC’s Proposed Rules on CybersecurityOct 26, 2022 — Learn how to accommodate the potential new rules proposed by the SEC in March of 2020. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) had released its publication on Integrating Cybersecurity and Enterprise Risk Management (ERM). The intent highlighted there was to help organizations better “identify, assess, and manage their cybersecurity risks in the context of their broader mission and business objectives.” To do so, the report recommended that cybersecurity risks be rolled-up to the wider Enterprise Risk Management program and, as such, be included in the overall decision-making process. NIST suggests using a risk communication channel that is already in use in all organizations: the risk register. Recognizing the importance of cybersecurity as an emerging risk especially due to the increased threat level of cyberattacks and their potential impact on businesses – and not just for the three industries mentioned above, but also estimating that cybersecurity incidents are underreported and, when they are, not in a timely manner, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) had already started raising awareness on this topic and setting expectations.

Impact20: Auditing SAP License Usage before moving to S/4HANAFeb 1, 2022 — There is no denying that SAP applications make it easy for organizations in almost every industry to streamline their business processes. However, that ease doesn’t include SAP software license management, which by all accounts, is considered one of the most complex compared to other ERP vendors.
When migrating to S/4HANA, performing an independent license audit is a crucial step that must not be forgotten. Skip it and you’re destined to pay higher licensing costs, become exposed to security risks, and face further licensing fees in the future.
In this session, learn how Appsian Security’s LicenseAuditor solution can simplify this process by combining user inspection, user behavior-analysis methods, and best practices to proactively optimize and manage SAP licensing. LicenseAuditor enables you to effectively utilize your licenses by offering a clear view of licensing possibilities for optimized models and savings of 50%-90% per classified license.

Impact20: Real-Time SoD Detection & PreventionFeb 1, 2022 — Static, role-based access controls are reaching their limitations. This is especially apparent with the enforcement of Segregation of Duties in SAP. While RBAC has value in its simplicity, relying on a static SoD model poses constraints.
By integrating attribute-based access controls (ABAC) into SoD policies, organizations can now overcome many of these challenges. Together, this hybrid approach (RBAC + ABAC) enables a dynamic SoD model that prevents violations while still allowing the flexibility of conflicting roles to be assigned (when necessary) and reinforces role-based policy to mitigate over-provisioning.
In this session, Appsian presents how a hybrid approach to SoD can strengthen policy enforcement, and coupled with real-time reporting, streamline mitigating controls.

Leverage existing SoD policy from SAP GRC Access Control
Eliminate the need for mitigating controls, and automate those controls when necessary.
