Cyber­se­cu­ri­ty is becom­ing one of the most impor­tant issues in the busi­ness world today. Cyber­se­cu­ri­ty breach­es don’t just make head­lines: they can dam­age cus­tomer rela­tions, bring col­lat­er­al dam­age to part­ners, and dri­ve stock prices down and IT bud­gets up.

Cyber­se­cu­ri­ty is also turn­ing into a major dri­ver for a host of busi­ness and tech­ni­cal deci­sions. Most com­pa­nies are strug­gling to fold increased aware­ness of cyber­se­cu­ri­ty into vir­tu­al­ly every new project, busi­ness rela­tion­ship, and tech­nol­o­gy deci­sion. This work touch­es cor­po­rate cul­ture, busi­ness process­es, peo­ple, and tech­nol­o­gy in ways few oth­er top­ics can.

For SAP cus­tomers, the sen­si­tiv­i­ty and vul­ner­a­bil­i­ty of the data and busi­ness process­es that reside in SAP sys­tems has made cyber­se­cu­ri­ty a par­tic­u­lar­ly urgent require­ment. SAP sys­tems aren’t just com­plex in and of them­selves: they are fre­quent­ly part of a larg­er, het­ero­ge­neous infra­struc­ture that makes lock­ing down an SAP sys­tem depen­dent on the secu­ri­ty of non-SAP sys­tems. And get­ting any of this wrong has con­se­quences that stretch well beyond SAP sys­tems and SAP users, as well. 

ASUG will be pre­sent­ing a series of web­casts, blog posts, reports, and events intend­ed to help SAP users, deci­sion mak­ers, and part­ners sort through the com­plex­i­ties of cyber­se­cu­ri­ty in the SAP ecosys­tem and show how to keep your com­pa­ny from becom­ing the next vic­tim in the cyber­se­cu­ri­ty wars. We are col­lab­o­rat­ing with the ASUG Secu­ri­ty Spe­cial Inter­est Group (SIG) for this spe­cial focus on  cybersecurity.

Regard­less of your role or senior­i­ty, your thoughts and opin­ions will help us devel­op cyber­se­cu­ri­ty con­tent that is rel­e­vant and help­ful to you and your orga­ni­za­tion. It should take no more than 10 min­utes to com­plete the sur­vey, and only aggre­gate results will be shared. We appre­ci­ate you tak­ing the time to give us a bet­ter under­stand­ing of how ASUG cus­tomers think about and exe­cute on issues relat­ed to cybersecurity.
