The security of an ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) system is important and demands close attention, because an ERP is the hub of all of an organisation’s critical data — financial, production, HR, and more. If this data is accessed without authorisation, it can severely impact the organisation. Securing the ERP is therefore something that must be taken seriously.

The key points to consider regarding ERP security are as follows:

Access Control
Data Encryption
Monitoring and Auditing
Patch Management and Updates
Employee Training and Awareness
Data Backup
Penetration Testing
