Why security should take centre stage in your S/4HANA migration

If you have not already started your migration towards S/4HANA, then you will no doubt be starting it very soon. But there is much more to this migration than meets the eye.

Transitioning to a new security model at the same time is not just a ‘golden’ opportunity, but it’s a critical demand. Only then can your organisation take full advantage of new ways of working, and of the flexibility and agility that S/4HANA can provide. And of course, at the same time, you can give yourself the confidence that your data, systems, and applications are as safe as they can be.

Far too often, it’s still treated as a tick-box exercise, something that employees do once a year strictly for compliance purposes. Only after something goes wrong is greater focus given to this crucial area, and a reaction (or punishment) considered necessary.

Security Think Tank: Think technology, process, human risk to manage ransomware

Effective ransomware handling is not simple – it must span every area of the business and requires a multi-layered approach.
