SAP systems are treated differently than many other enterprise applications from a cybersecurity perspective. Most SAP security teams are siloed and left to meet security objectives on their own. Since SAP is so integral to organizations, it is unusual for SAP security objectives to not be on the radar of an existing 24/7 cybersecurity team executing response actions for Linux or Microsoft environments. SAP teams must be integrated with other cybersecurity groups within an organization to empower them with a security approach that unifies the entire enterprise landscape.

A chief information security officer (CISO) has many priorities, but when it comes to SAP environments, CISOs must fully understand how SAP applies to the IT enterprise and organizational environment to help them achieve all security goals. In addition, CISOs need to know their SAP team members personally so they can integrate them rather than contain them in silos. Finally, SAP must be secured to the same degree as other enterprise applications. When there is a Linux, Microsoft, or even a hybrid cloud incident, cybersecurity teams have a detailed plan of action upon which they are ready to act. SAP requires high-level consideration, or critical elements of the business will be vulnerable to malicious cyber actors—with no apparent response.

Many people are pondering whether generative artificial intelligence (AI) tool ChatGPT is a friend or a foe.

In this ISACA podcast episode, Camelot Secure Director of Solutions Engineering Zachary Folks discusses not only his view of how ChatGPT can be considered an evolution of the encyclopedia, but importantly how it is aiding cybersecurity professionals and the overall goal of enterprise security, as well as how cybercriminals who want to exploit it can leverage it as well. He believes the world is entering a time when AI is fighting AI, and security professionals must focus on feeding ChatGPT technology more relevant data faster than the adversary. Folk also addresses how AI is affecting social engineering and his predictions for upcoming AI developments.

Getting dressed is a routine example of everyday life packed with choices. Should I wear pants or shorts? Do I need a sweater? Shoes or sandals? While we often make these choices subconsciously, even actions that don’t appear as choices include several microscopic risk-based calculations.

These judgments are executed based on some estimate of risk, and as known in the cybersecurity industry, what is believed to be safe today may no longer be safe tomorrow (or possibly even within the hour). Given this unique challenge, how do you establish a process that allows you to identify, analyze, prioritize, and treat security risks that are constantly evolving and where the threat is persistently adapting?

In this podcast, ISACA's Lisa Cook discusses with Adobe's Matt Carroll, Senior Manager of Technology Governance, Risk, and Compliance the risk methodology and practices his team has developed at Adobe that have helped the company rapidly measure security risk in a constantly changing landscape.

ISACA recently marked the 25th anniversary of Steve Ross’ ISACA Journal Information Security Matters column. Over the last quarter century, technology, security, and the workforce have evolved, while certain challenges remain the same.

In this ISACA Podcast episode, Safia Kazi speaks to Steve about how he started writing for the Journal, societal shifts in security perceptions, and how writing skills are invaluable for anyone in the security industry.

Organizations can no longer rely on legacy vulnerability management solutions to protect against even basic attacks. Instead, vulnerability management is just one small component in a unified continuous threat exposure management (CTEM) approach to securing an enterprise from malicious intruders and ransomware. In addition to vulnerability management, security around misconfigurations, patching, identity, software, external attack surfaces, and more must be included.

In this ISACA Podcast, Nanitor Chief Strategist Derek Melber explains that an organization can prevent breaches and ransomware by taking an asset-centric prioritized-security approach that includes all of these security areas.
