Cyber Assessments

Cyber crime represents the greatest risk to economic health in history. It is forecast that by 2030, cyber crime will cost the world in excess of
$10 trillion annually, up from $3 trillion in 2015. Cyber crime costs include damage and destruction of data, stolen money, lost productivity, theft of intellectual property, theft of personal and financial data, embezzlement, fraud, post-attack disruption to the normal course of business, forensic investigation, restoration and deletion of hacked data and systems, and reputational harm.

Let’s talk impact:

  • Operational downtime stalls your supply chain
  • Legal penalties stack up under GDPR, NIS2,  DORA and SEC Cyber security risk management and incident disclosure
  • Ransom demands put pressure on decision makers
  • Lawsuits emerge from partners, customers or shareholders
  • Loss of trust hits brand value and sales
  • Stock price drops are common for listed companies

And that’s before factoring in the cost of the clean up. Proactive, not reactive. Good risk management isn’t just about alerts, it’s about foresight.

You need to know where you’re exposed before someone else finds it – as they are trying 24×7.

 

 

So are SAP systems safe?
Up until 2012, many people thought so, that was until the Greek Ministry of Finance’s SAP system was hacked and information was posted online. Since then, there have been many high-profile hacks including the US Department of Homeland Security. So, the simple answer is that SAP needs to be protected and monitored, and knowing what is happening in your SAP system is key.

More than passwords and firewalls

We often see organisations laser focused on the “obvious” cyber risks: hackers, phishing emails, ransomware. The usual suspects. These threats are real and rightly get attention. But the bigger danger might be the risk you haven’t thought about, the hidden vulnerability in your SAP configuration, the over provisioned user account or the forgotten policy gathering dust.

  • Most businesses have a long tail of overlooked risks. Not due to negligence but because enterprise security is complex.
  • Teams are overwhelmed, resources are finite and it’s not always easy to know what’s high priority.
  • There’s also a tendency for businesses to treat cyber risk like a project: find an issue, fix it, move on. But in reality, cyber risk is a constantly evolving challenge and it’s not something you ever truly ‘finish’. It needs ongoing attention, not a one-time fix.

Cyber risk in SAP: A two-sided challenge

Effective SAP cyber risk management requires a dual focus:

1.Technical risk – Misconfigured authorisations, outdated patches, unmonitored user activity. Vulnerabilities like these live inside the system and are invisible to traditional IT scans.

2.Organisational risk – Weak or unenforced policies, inconsistent control execution and poor identity governance, lax partner and supplier screening. These systemic gaps can turn minor issues into full blown crises.

“While you can control security through authorisations, and you can deploy a GRC solution to guard against segregation of duties, even with strong patch management, there are so many vulnerabilities that a hacker can expose to gain open access to data. We get our clients up and running quickly, in a matter of hours, and able to make immediate changes to close out threats and see where any breaches have occurred.”
