While many organizations are prioritizing ERP application security, others are instead focusing on and investing heavily in traditional cybersecurity tools that only address more common threats, like ransomware.

There are numerous security risks that can leave business-critical applications vulnerable to cybercriminals.

A vulnerability within an ERP application would be deemed far more critical than a vulnerability within an endpoint and should be patched first.

To improve their patch management process and ensure no critical vulnerabilities are left unpatched, security teams should leverage modern vulnerability management tools that can give them end-to-end visibility into their ERP and business application landscape, including those located in the cloud, on-premise, or hybrid environments.

This process is highly labor-intensive, error-prone, and typically fails to identify even a small portion of the critical flaws that can compromise the security and compliance of business applications.

To identify and fix security bugs in business-critical application custom code, security teams should replace their manual procedures with automated tools, and ensure they have support and deep coverage for the business application-specific languages that they use.
