In October,
EC-Council’s Hacker Halted came to Europe for the first time. Firebrand
attended the conference in Reykjavik, Iceland and interviewed industry experts
about the hottest topics in cyber security.
Alexander Polyakov
is the co-founder and CTO of ERPScan Security Monitoring Suite for SAP. He’s an
expert on the security of enterprise business-critical software, such as ERP,
CRM SR, as well as enterprise applications developed by SAP and Oracle. Alexander
is the author of numerous surveys and whitepapers devoted to IT security
research in SAP.
The conference
organisers invited Alexander to speak about vulnerabilities, threats and trends
of SAP in 2013. The presentation outlined the importance of raising awareness
on securing ERP Systems based on SAP. As business critical data is often stored
in the SAP system, it is absolutely essential to ensure that there are no
vulnerabilities. Alexander also pointed out that the exposure of SAP systems to
the internet can bear serious consequences, as cybercriminals might gain access
to them, using simple vulnerabilities.
