CISO | Security Vendor Relationship Series

This week's episode of Defense in Depth

ERP Security

Defense in Depth: ERP Security

 On this episode of Defense in Depth:

Co-host Allan Alford and our guest Branden Newman, CISO of adidas (brought to us by our sponsor, SecurityBridge), discuss the following:

  • The volume of log files are so overwhelming from an ERP system that most security groups just turn them off.

  • The reason you want an ERP-specific security solution is that they handle a lot of the log management and customization for you. You'll still need to do plenty of customization on your part, but these tools take away a lot of the heavy lifting.

  • Make sure you're on a first-name basis with all the key people whose departments are in the ERP system. You're going to need their support and knowledge to build out the effective ERP solution matrix.

  • If you have ERP or SAP installed, move an ERP-specific security solution to the front of your security maturity program.

Special thanks to this week's Defense in Depth podcast sponsor, SecurityBridge.
