The Most Comprehensive Data Security for SAP Ecosystems
How do enterprises thrive through constant change? This question plagues many executives as they face unprecedented disruption to their business environment. With the rise and rapid adoption of generative AI, cloud computing and digital transformation, technology has become the most disruptive force for businesses today.
This strategic shift towards reinvention, fueled by Gen AI, has created an enormous need for a digital core. A digital core enables organizations to accelerate ahead of the competition and achieve their ambitions—using the right mix of AI, big data & analytics, ERP, unstructured data, and cloud computing. However, at the same time it is critical to design security at every level.
When factoring in Zero Trust Data Security in at each level, it enables enterprises to secure their entire digital core or application ecosystem. By controlling access, safeguarding the data itself, protecting data in use, and safeguarding outputs, enterprises can protect their ecosystem, maintain operational integrity, and foster trust in new technologies. Explore below how this is achieved:
- Controlling Access to Systems
Whether it be AI systems, ERP systems, data analytics, or cloud infrastructure, it is critical to control access to the system in which sensitive data resides. Given the Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) emphasizes the principle of “never trust, always verify,” it ensures every request to access critical systems are authenticated and authorized, regardless of its origin.
With the implementation of dynamic authorization, attribute-based access controls (ABAC), and continuous monitoring, enterprises can significantly reduce the risk of unauthorized. By ensuring that every request is verified, enterprises can prevent malicious actors from exploiting or extracting information from critical systems for harmful purposes. Additionally, the use of the least privilege principle ensures that users and processes only have access to the resources necessary for their job function, making it easy to enforce segregation of duties (SoD), and minimizes the attack surface and prevents breaches.
- Safeguard the Data Itself
Data related to an enterprise’s digital core, despite its diversity, serves as the engine that drives innovation within the organization. If it is not adequately protected, it becomes vulnerable to insider risks and a prime target for cyberattacks.
Some proven techniques used to apply controls to protect data are data tagging, encryption, dynamic data masking, and logical segregation, which are essential for maintaining the integrity and confidentiality of data. Data tagging helps in identifying and categorizing data based on its sensitivity, enabling tailored security measures. Encryption secures data by converting it into an unreadable format, while dynamic data masking changes the data stream so that the data requester does not get access to the sensitive data with no physical changes to the original production data. Data segregation partitions sensitive information virtually via policy to allow only authorized users to view the data sets that pertain to them.
- Protect Data in Use
Developing trust-based mechanisms that establish high levels of trust in the data source and separately in the trustworthiness of the data allows enterprises to align appropriate data use with business goals, both within and outside the organization. Due to this, it is critical to protect data throughout its lifecycle – at the source, at the point of use, and on the move — during collection, use, analysis, processing, and transmission.
Fine-grained access controls and entitlement management can effectively restrict access and segregate sensitive data at its source, ensuring that only authorized users can access and share information. Dynamic data masking, scrambling, and obfuscation techniques can protect data in use by rendering sensitive information unrecognizable to unauthorized users at the point of access, while encryption safeguards data in transit. When these techniques are implemented effectively, enterprises can enhance data governance and prevent the leakage of sensitive information throughout its lifecycle.
- Secure Information Shared Internally & Externally
Organizations that promote data sharing among employees, partners, and stakeholders have outperformed their peers on most business value metrics. To balance collaboration and security, enterprises need a solution that maintains data protection regardless of how or with whom it is shared, preventing unauthorized transfers and improper sharing.
Enterprise Digital Rights Management (E-DRM) protects sensitive information throughout its lifecycle from unauthorized access, use, and distribution. E-DRM employs attribute-based policies to dynamically grant permissions based on the recipient’s identity for specific actions—such as viewing, editing, copying, forwarding, printing, and extracting content—with options to set expiration dates, dynamic watermarks, and usage limits. Policies can be updated or revoked even after a document is shared outside the enterprise. E-DRM provides peace of mind for safe file sharing with internal and external stakeholders while mitigating risks of unauthorized access and breaches.
