Top Cyber Attack Vectors For Critical SAP Systems

An anonymous reader writes: Despite housing an organization's most valuable and sensitive information, SAP systems are not protected from cyber threats by traditional security approaches. Based on assessments of hundreds of SAP implementations, the Onapsis Research Labs study found that over 95 percent of SAP systems were exposed to vulnerabilities that could lead to full compromise of the company's business data and processes. Most companies are also exposed to protracted patching windows averaging 18 months or more. In 2014 alone, 391 security patches were released by SAP, averaging more than 30 per month. Almost 50 percent of them were ranked as "high priority" by SAP.

A 'sap' is a small blunt weapon, usually a leather sack of lead shot, used to incapacitate a target. A 'SAP system' is a gargantuan and expensive piece of ERP software used to incapacitate a corporation.
